Abstract

One of the freedoms possessed by every individual is freedom of expression and opinion. Democracy provides opportunities for everyone to take part in enjoying the freedoms they have proportionally, considering that one individual’s opportunities are limited by the opportunities of others. Data innovation provides another variation in political life in different countries. Electronic media and social media are platforms for the development of different data and it is clear that this is a place for citizens to be able to have opinions and express themselves. In democratic countries, the media can be a place to convey public aspirations. One of the main post-reform phenomena is liberation in the field of mass media, the emergence of opportunities for expression and democratization. Freedom of expression is marked by guarantees of freedom of the press and the opportunity to express opinions, while democratization is marked by the launching of political opportunities and institutional changes. The presence of technological innovation and data communication then triggers an increase in democratic values. Although the presence of digital democracy is ready to determine the shortcomings of manual voice-based system techniques, it does not mean that this model is without imperfections. It is worth considering its application in the public eye from now on. Is the data available on the internet really of high quality and can be accessed without any constraints by each individual.
