Introduction
Science has become the predominant mode of thinking, offering solutions to a wide array of problems across various domains. While scientific advancements have driven societal progress, they have also led to the creation of surveillance tools, posing threats to privacy. This duality sparks debates on whether science benefits or harms humanity. In the age of information, vast amounts of data are generated through our activities, presenting both opportunities and risks. The protection of privacy is crucial, particularly against state and non-state entities that may exploit personal data. Legislative measures are necessary to safeguard privacy rights and curb potential violations by governments and non-state actors, ensuring that citizens’ privacy acts as a check on their power.[1]
