Yeni enformasyon teknolojilerinin gelişimiyle birlikte dezenformasyon ve yanlış bilgi içeren veri yığınlarının artış gösterdiği bilinmektedir. Dünya’da politika yapıcılar farklı biçimlerde bu süreçten etkilenmiştir. 2016 yılında ABD’de gerçekleşen seçimde yaşanan veri skandalları bu sürecin kırılma noktası olmuş ve Brexıt vakasının ardından birçok yeni kavram ortaya atılmıştır. Dezenformasyon ve yanlış bilgi içeren verilerin yayılması kamusal alanda politika yapıcılar ile hizmet sağlayıcılar arasında yeni bir rekabet ve gerilim alanının ortaya çıkmasına neden olmuş, dünyada hükümetler, hükümet dışı örgütler, sivil toplumla birlikte özel girişimler tarafından dezenformasyon ve sahte bilgiyle mücadelede pek çok farklı yaklaşım ve pratik uygulama geliştirilmiştir. Bu makale; doğrudan bu yeni kavram, yaklaşım ve dezenformasyon ve sahte bilgiyle mücadelede geliştirilen uygulamaları incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla sahte içeriklere maruz kalmadan önce, maruz kaldıktan sonra ve dezenformasyon ağını analiz eden uygulamalar sistematik literatür taramasıyla analiz edilmiştir. Ayrıca, dünyanın farklı coğrafyalarında çeşitli ülkeler tarafından uygulanan politika girişimleri ve Türkiye’nin dezenformasyon ve yanlış bilgiyle mücadelede alabileceği olası önlemler incelenmiştir.

Combatting Misinformation And Disinformation; Concepts And Applications

It is known that with the development of new information technologies, the mass of data containing disinformation and misinformation is increasing. Policy makers around the world have been affected by this process in different ways. The data scandals during the 2016 election in the USA were the breaking point of this process, and many new concepts were introduced after the Brexit incident. The spread of data containing disinformation and misinformation has led to the emergence of a new area of competition and tension between policy makers and service providers in the public sphere, and many different approaches and practices have been adopted in the fight against disinformation and fake information by governments, non-governmental organizations, civil society and private initiatives around the world. The application has been developed. This article; It aims to directly examine this new concept, approach and practices developed in the fight against disinformation and fake information. For this purpose, applications that analyze the disinformation network before and after exposure to fake content were analyzed through a systematic literature review. Additionally, policy initiatives implemented by various countries in different geographies of the world and possible measures that Turkey can take in the fight against disinformation and misinformation were examined.
