Abstract:
The rapid development of digital technology has introduced significant challenges to privacy, raising complex ethical and policy questions. This research article explores how technological advancements affect individuals right to privacy, the ethical implications of data collection, surveillance, and the role of policymakers in balancing innovation with citizens' rights. We analyze current legislative approaches, identify key gaps, and propose policy recommendations to protect privacy without hindering technological progress.
The study incorporates a multidisciplinary approach, drawing insights from legal, ethical, and technological perspectives to present a comprehensive analysis.
