Publication: Halkı yanıltıcı bilgiyi alenen yayma suçu (TCK m. 217/ A)
Abstract
Günümüz itibarıyla bilgi paylaşımının gücü ve hızı gün geçtikçe artış yönünde büyük bir ivmelenme kazanmaktadır. Bilgi paylaşımının olduğu alanda bilgi düzensizliklerinin olması da kuvvetle muhtemeldir. Bu kapsamda Türk Hukukunda geçmişte yansımaları olan “halkı yanıltıcı bilgiyi alenen yayma suçu” ihdas edilmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında birinci bölümde bilgi ve bilgi düzensizliklerine değinilmiştir. Ardından çalışma konusu suç, gerçeğe aykırı bilgiyi cezalandırılan ülkelerdeki normlar ile kıyas edilerek benzer ve farklı yönlerine dikkat çekilmiştir. Hukukumuzdaki benzer suç tipleri ile kıyaslamaları yapılarak suçların birbirlerinden ayrılan yönleri incelenmiştir. İkinci bölümde çalışma konusu suç, tipiklik bağlamında ele alınarak unsurları irdelenmiştir. İfade özgürlüğüne ise ayrıca yer verilerek suç tipinin uygulama aşamasındaki muhtemel hak ihlali oluşturacak sebepleri irdelenmiştir.
