Özet:

In social media, the post-truth and dezinformation concepts are used for almost the same purpose. It does not matter whether the information shared in this regard is true or liar. The important thing is to gather people’s feelings and thoughts into a point. Therefore, it is possible to delay intentionally dirty information to humiliate your opponent and defeat him. Post-truth is one of the fashion concepts today. The post-truth dictionary is the Oxford dictionary. The Oxford Dictionary has chosen the post-truth as the concept of the year in the international field in 2016. Also, both in Donald Trump’s election campaign and in the Brexit referendum in Britain, post-truth politics has been frequently hit. These two events have contributed greatly to the globalization of the concept. The important thing is that post-truth statements and dezinformations shared on social media do not harm the country’s public order and security and people’s health. Unfortunately, some responsible people and terrorist organizations contribute to “digital terrorism” through their social media sharing. Although the post-truth concept is often used in Turkey, there is no complete consensus about the Turkish concept. Therefore, throughout our work, we want to express that we use the concepts of post-truth and dezinformation in the same direction, if necessary and in the same direction. In the first stage of our study, the post-truth concept and history are discussed, Donald Trump’s election campaign and how Brexit in Britain contributed to the globalization of the concept and the perception of the concept in Turkey. In the aftermath in Turkey, post-truth speeches and dezinformations are analyzed the problems that masses and terrorist organizations are causing from the point of view of security. Three examples of events have been selected for this: the 27 May 1960 military coup, the 2013 Gezi Park actions and the 6-8 October 2014 Kobani actions. Finally, the discussion and criticism of the law on dezinformation which came into force during the period of the study was briefly addressed.
