Global legal steps are being taken worldwide against the algorithmic traps of global digital platforms
The impacts of artificial intelligence giants and social networks on local media and economies, legal processes initiated worldwide, and legal developments in Australia and the US are on the agenda.
While legal struggles begin around the world against the algorithmic traps and data exploitation of global social networks and artificial intelligence giants, it is stated that similar legal steps should be taken in Turkey as well.
Global Threat and Local Media
The manipulation and data exploitation carried out by global digital platforms through algorithms pose a significant threat to local and national media.
Calls for a Digital Copyright Law are growing louder day by day against unfair profits and the unauthorized use of Turkish media content.
Australia's New Regulation
The Australian Government, one of the leading countries taking precautions in this field globally, is about to finalize the Digital Duty of Care study.
With this study, it is aimed to provide social media platforms with the option to turn off the algorithmic content feed based on user preferences.
Copyright Lawsuits in the US
In the US, The Seattle Times and Newsday filed lawsuits on the grounds that their news and articles were used without permission to train artificial intelligence models.
While OpenAI and Microsoft companies are targeted within the scope of this copyright infringement lawsuit, the process is being closely monitored on a global scale.
Mobile Advertising and Profiling
It is stated that through the issue of Mobile Advertising ID, personal and regional profiles are created via smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches.
It is noted that advertising cartels widely benefit from this established infrastructure and that user privacy is at risk.
