    Disinformation activities on social media platforms and responsibility in the context of criminal law: a case review on the Twitter platform
    (İstanbul Ticaret Üniversitesi, 2023) Yurtlu, Fatih; Yıldız, Orkun
    Many different applications, called social media channels, have been developed. Today, it is seen that some of these applications have become a platform where individual ideas can be shared in written and visual expressions in the public sphere, as well as allowing to follow current developments. Among these platforms, Twitter has the highest number of users for this purpose. This study aims to identify, define, classify and associate criminal law with the statements that carry criminal elements shared on social media platforms, together with the analysis of actual data, by conducting a case study specific to Twitter. The explanatory case study was preferred as the research method of this study. As a case study in line with the purpose of our study, the posts made using the relevant hashtags detected on the Twitter Platform regarding the Gezi Park events, which have been on the agenda of Turkey for the last eight years and which are predicted to be able to share disinformation on social media, have been discussed. In this case analysis, the social media analysis method was used to obtain and analyze the data. Thus, disinformation sharing that may require criminal law responsibility in the determined purposive case study will be identified and classified. Subsequently, the relevant posts will be associated with the regulations in the Turkish penal legislation. This study deals with misleading social media posts, and criminal law responsibility in Turkish, limited to Twitter platform shares for the purposefully determined case study event. The contributions of the study to science and society are that it is the first multidisciplinary collaborative study in the literature that deals with disinformation activities in social media within the scope of criminal law responsibility, classifies these activities and has a content in which it is associated with the relevant regulations of the criminal legislation. The findings obtained and presented in the study may be beneficial for the executive and legislative bodies in reviewing the legal regulations on the subject, raising awareness for other interested parties and contributing to the literature.
