Abstract [English]

In the current digital landscape, characterized by rapid technological advancements and pervasive social media usage, the intersection of data protection and social regulation has emerged as a critical area of focus. This research paper explores how emerging social norms and regulatory frameworks shape the ways in which personal data is collected, processed, and protected. It critically examines the evolving definitions of privacy and consent, the role of regulatory bodies in enforcing data protection standards, and the implications of social expectations on corporate practices. By presenting a conceptual model that integrates legal, ethical, and societal dimensions, the article highlights the necessity for a multifaceted approach to data protection that transcends traditional legal frameworks. It argues for a collaborative paradigm that engages stakeholders, including individuals, institutions, and policymakers, in the creation of robust data governance solutions. Ultimately, this work aims to contribute to the discourse on building resilient data protection strategies that are aligned with contemporary social values and technological realities. This article aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Personal Data Protection Act of 2023 in ensuring the right to privacy and data protection.
