Kizmaz, Nuran
Sustainability, which is based on the protection of the resources we have within the framework of the global climate crisis, is gaining importance day by day. With the industrial revolution, we see that the daily lives of individuals have become integrated with technology. It is seen that all institutions of society, from communication to economy, from education to politics, have become connected to technology and networks. Thus, the concepts of increasing digitalization and sustainability have become synonymous with each other. In this article, the relationship between the two concepts will be analyzed in a social and environmental context, and their positive and negative aspects will be discussed. This study aims to understand and evaluate the conflict between wasteful culture and green consciousness by addressing the societal implications in the relationship between digitalization and sustainability. By examining how digital technologies have the potential to provide environmental benefits but also how they affect environmental threats such as e-waste, the study aims to reveal the societal consequences arising from this dilemma. Thus, the main question of the research will be tried to be answered whether digitalization provides environmental benefits in line with sustainability goals or deepens the e-waste crisis by triggering a culture of waste. In the research, a literature review will be conducted from qualitative research methods. As a result, inferences will be made on the future potential of sustainable digital technologies by drawing attention to the awareness of the balance between digitalization and green consciousness.

Kizmaz, Nuran
Digitalization stands out as an important factor transforming social structures and forms of communication in today's society. Social media offers a socio-political ground for participatory democracy and an alternative to traditional media in a globalizing world. Recently, Israel's attack on Gaza and the massive genocide in the region have caused a great resonance on the internet and social media. The aim of this study is to examine the censorship mechanisms applied by social media platforms during Israel's attacks on Gaza. The main question of the research is how social media censorship mechanisms affect freedom of expression and digital activism. As a result of the research, it has been observed that since the first days of the war, especially on Facebook and Instagram, posts were removed biasedly, and the accounts of people who frequently posted such posts were slowed down, and their posts were algorithmically blocked from being seen. As a result of this process, users have tried to overcome this situation with visuals such as watermelons and olives, symbols associated with Gaza. Contradicting the idea that alternative new media creates a libertarian space, it created great disappointment and damaged the trust of users. The importance of the research lies in its demonstration of the effects of censorship on freedom of expression and digital activism in social media. The study will examine social media censorship in Gaza in detail through using a literature review methodology and discussing relevant figures. As a result, we will present examples of the efforts of social media users who are algorithmically censored, which we call symbolic subversion, to overcome this situation with symbols.
