Can Dündar, Chief Editor of Cumhuriyet daily was going to write the introduction of the report yet this could not be actualized due to his arrest on account of his report on the trucks of National Intelligence Organization (MİT). Instead of the introduction supposed to be written by Dündar, the following statement has been addressed on the preface of the report:
“Gözetim, Gizlilik ve Otosansür: Türkiye’deki Yeni Dijital Zorluklar” başlıklı raporun önsözünü ise Cumhuriyet Gazetesi Genel Yayın Yönetmeni Can Dündar yazacaktı.
