Digital privacy concerns have significant implications for governance as they challenge the principles of transparency and accountability. Governments must balance the protection of citizens' data with their need for oversight and security. The increasing use of technology in public services raises questions about surveillance and the potential for abuse of power. Additionally, inadequate privacy protections can erode public trust in institutions, leading to a reluctance to engage with governance processes. Policymakers must navigate these challenges to preserve individual freedoms while ensuring effective governance.
