1 | Are the World's Biggest Internet Companies Under the Turkish President's Thumb? | Eo Ambany Fifehezan'ny Filoha Tiorka Ve Ireo Orinasa Aterineto Lehibe Indrindra Eto An-tany? |
2 | How the world saw Turkey's Twitter ban. | Ny fomba fijerin'ny olona ny fandraràn'i Torkia ny Twitter. |
3 | Widely shared. | Nozarazaraina be. |
4 | Twitter and YouTube were blocked in Turkey once again April 6, sparking plenty of fanfare across social networks. | Nahitsoka indray any Torkia, ny 6 Aprily teo, ny Twitter sy ny YouTube, nahatonga fimenomenonana tany anatin'ireo tambajotra sosialy. |
5 | This time around, the block was imposed after the mass circulation of photos from a hostage crisis that ended with the death of government prosecutor Mehmet Selim Kiraz and two leftist militants on March 31. | Tamin'ity indray mitoraka ity, natao ilay fanitsohana taorian'ny fampitampitàna be an'ireo sary avy tamin'ny fakàna an-keriny tamin'ny 31 Martsa izay niafara tamin'ny fahafatesan‘ilay mpampanoa lalànan'ny governemanta, Mehmet Selim Kiraz, sy ireo mpikatroka roa avy amin'ny elatra havia. |
6 | The block on Twitter was reportedly lifted the night of April 6 after the service complied with removal requests from Turkish authorities. | Voalaza fa nesorina ny alin'ny 6 Aprily ilay fibahanana ny Twitter, taorian'ny nanekeny ny fangatahana famafàna nataon'ireo manampahefana Tiorka. |
7 | Facebook was much faster to meet their requests and was blocked only briefly. | Haingakaingana kokoa ny Facebook namaly ny fangatahana ka vetivety monja no naha-voabahana azy. |
8 | Google also appears to have complied with a removal request based on a April 6 court order, escaping a block completely. | Hita ho namaly ny fangatahana famafàna ihany koa ny Google, araka ny didim-pitsaràna ny 6 Aprily, nahasoroka ny fibahanana azy tanteraka. |
9 | By some estimates, up to half of Turkey's population uses social media, with 12-14 million Twitter users alone. | Araka ireo vinavina sasany, mampiasa ireo media sosialy ny antsasaky ny mponin'i Torkia, ary 12 ka hatramin'ny 14 tapitrisa no mampiasa Twitter fotsiny. |
10 | It is a huge market. | Tsenam-barotra goavana be tokoa io. |
11 | İbrahim Kalın, a spokesperson for Erdoğan, said in an official statement that banning social networks should not be seen as an attack on freedom of speech. | Nilaza i Ibrahim Kalin, mpitondra tenin'i Erdogan, tamin'ny fanambaràna ofisialy fa tsy tokony raisina ho toy ny fanohitohinana ny fahalalahana maneho hevitra ny fandraràna ireo tambajotra sosialy. |
12 | BGN News quoted him as saying “it would be wrong to view the social media ban as a curbing of freedoms.” | Nambaran'ny BGN News ho nilaza izao izy “ho diso ny fijery ny fandraràna ny media sosialy ho toy ny fameperana ireo fahalalahana.” |
13 | The intention of the blocks - triggered by court orders - was, in his words, to curb the “spread of terrorist propaganda.” | Ny tanjon'ireo fandraràna- izay avy tamin'ireo didim-pitsaràna - araka ny teniny, dia ny hamerana ny “fanapariahana ny fampielezan-kevitra fampihorohoroana.” |
14 | Protecting ‘family values' (and the ruling party) | Fiarovana ny ‘soatoavin'ny fianakaviana' (ary ny antoko eo amin'ny fitondràna) |
15 | Since August elections, more than 70 people have been prosecuted for “insulting” President Erdoğan, in many cases on social media. | Hatry ny fifidianana ny volana Aogositra, maherin'ny 70 ireo olona nohenjehina ho “nanala baràka” ny Filoham-pirenena Erdogan, taminà tranga maro tao amin'ny media sosialy. |
16 | During Erdoğan's time as Prime Minister, there were hundreds of such cases. | Nandritra ny fotoana naha Praiminisitra an'i Erdogan, efa nisy an-jatony ny tranga sahala amin'izany. |
17 | Just prior to the hostage crisis, two prominent cartoonists of the weekly satirical magazine Penguen received 11-month prison sentences for “insulting” the president. | Taloha kelin'ilay fakàna an-keriny, roa malaza mpanao sariitatra ao amin'ilay gazetiboky Penguen mpanesoeso mivoaka isan-kerinandro no nahazo sazy 11 volana an-tranomaizina ho “nanala baràka” ny filoha. |
18 | Ever since the Gezi protests went viral, Erdoğan's ruling AKP (Justice and Development) party seems to view Facebook, Twitter and YouTube as a giant stains on its reputation. | Hatry ny nahalasa nalaza be tamin'ny Aterineto ny hetsi-panoherana Gezi , toa noraisin'ny antokon'i Erdogan, AKP (Fitsaràna sy Fampandrosoana), izay eo amin'ny fitondràna ho sakana lehibe eo amin'ny lazany ny Facebook, Twitter ary ny YouTube. |
19 | After the killing of Prosecutor Kiraz on March 31, rumors spread that government leaks about the prosecutor's death which could potentially damage the party would soon emerge on social networks, although this has yet to prove the case. | Taorian'ny famonoana an'i Kiraz, mpampanoa lalàna, ny 31 Martsa, miely ny siosion-dresaka fa misy angom-baovao avy amin'ny governemanta mety hiporitsaka tsy ho ela any amin'ireo tambajotra sosialy, momba ny fahafatesan'ilay mpampanoa lalàna, izay tena mety hamotika ny antoko, na dia mila porofoina ary izany tranga izany. |
20 | Some Twitter users in Turkey were able to bypass mass censorship and access the site through proxies. | Afaka nandingana ireo fibahanana faobe ireo ny sasany amin”ireo mpampiasa Twitter tany Tiorkia ary afaka niditra tamin'ny vohikala tamin'ny alalan'ny “proxies”. |
21 | As @SpiritOfGezi pointed out: | Araka ny nanipihan'i @SpiritOfGezi hoe: |
22 | 3 MILLION tweets were posted in #Turkey since ban on twitter was imposed&still counting ;=) #TwitterisblockedinTurkey pic.twitter.com/5G1ODjFUty | Bitsika miisa 3 TAPITRISA no nalefa tao #Torkia hatry ny nandidiana ny fibahanana ny twitter&mbola manohy manisa ;=) #TwitterisblockedinTurkey (voabahananyTwitteranyTiorkia) |
23 | - Spirit of Gezi (@SpiritOfGezi) April 6, 2015 But this does not apply to everyone - tech-savvy people are quick to find workarounds, but others are not so lucky. | Fa tsy mihatra amin'ny rehetra io - mahita vahaolana haingana amin'izany ireo olona mpahay teknolojia, fa ny sasany tsy manam-bitana loatra toy izany. |
24 | Analysts of the country's media space seem to agree that while the block is intended to decrease social media use in the country, authorities are perfectly aware that the block will not stifle conversation on Twitter altogether. | Toa miaiky ireo mpandinika ny sehatry ny media ao amin'ny firenena fa raha tiana hanenàna ny fampiasàna ny media sosialy ao amin'ny firenena no anton'ilay fibahanana, fantatr'ireo manampahefana tsara fa tsy hahavita hanaisotra tanteraka ny fifampiresahana ao amin'ny Twitter io fibahanana io. |
25 | Folks tweeting about how the Twitter ban isn't working. | Bitsika alefan'ny olona izao ny momba ny tsy mampahomby ny fibahanana ny Twitter. |
26 | The relevant comparison is with how much people tweeted before. | Ny afaka tena hampitahàna azy dia ny hoe firy ny isan'ireo bitsika nalefa teo aloha. |
27 | - Nate Schenkkan (@nateschenkkan) April 6, 2015 Turkish sociologist and media scholar Zeynep Tufekci suggests that the real goal of Erdoğan's campaign is to “demonize” social media and present it as a threat to “family values” and national unity. | Maneho hevitra ny Tiorka iray mpahay momba ny fiarahamonina sy manampahaizana momba ny media, Zeynep Tufekci, fa ny tena tanjon'ny hetsik'i Erdogan dia ny “hanaratsy endrika” ny media sosialy ary hampiseho an'io ho loza mitatao ho an'ny “lanjan'ny fianakaviana” ary ny firaisankinam-pirenena. |
28 | She writes: | Manoratra izao izy: |
29 | Erdogan is not trying to block social media as much as taint it. […] | Tsy miezaka ny hibahana ny media sosialy arakany loko omena azy io i Erdogan. […] |
30 | The battle isn't between Internet's ability to distribute corruption tapes and the government's ability to suppress them. | Tsy eo amin'ny fahafahan'ny Aterineto mizara ny resaka kolikoly sy ny fahafahan'ny governemanta manafoana ireny ny ady. |
31 | The battle is for the hearts and minds of Erdogan's own supporters, and whether Erdogan can convince them that social media is a dangerous, uncontrolled, filthy place from which nothing good can come. | Ny ady dia eo amin'ny fo sy ny sain'ireo mpanohana an'i Erdogan, ary ny hoe, mety ho resin'i Erdogan lahatra ve izy ireo hoe sehatra mampidi-doza, tsy afaka fehezina, maloto izay tsy misy zavatra tsara azo tsoahana ireo media sosialy. |
32 | Since Erdoğan's election as president, he has moved to further limit the rights of netizens by changing laws affecting Internet rights. | Hatry ny naha-lany ho filoha an'i Erdogan, novainy nasiany fetrany hatrany ireo zon'ny mpisera amin'ny Aterineto, tamin'ny fanovàna ireo lalàna mahakasika ireo zon'ny Aterineto. |
33 | A soon-to-be-passed security law allows authorities to conduct broad-scale censorship and surveillance without prior judicial oversight. | Misy lalàna natao fiarovana ho laniana ato ho ato, izay manome alalana ireo manampahefana hanao sivana sy fanarahamaso midadasika be, tsy mila fanaraha-maso mialoha ataon'ny fitsaràna . |
34 | What's more frightening is, today's ban comes even before amended Internet Law has come into effect. | Ny tena mampitahotra dia, ny fandraràn ankehitriny dia tonga alohan'ny fametrahana ilay lalàna nasiana fanovàna momba ny Aterineto. |
35 | When it does, welcome ‘emergency rule'! - YavuzBaydar (@yavuzbaydar) April 6, 2015 | Rehefa tafapetraka io, tongasoa ny ‘didy amin'ny tany tsy milamina'! |
36 | With Turkey getting closer to a general election, stirring a tense political atmosphere in the country, Erdoğan is looking for more ways to silence the people opposing him and AKP. | Miaraka amin'ny Tiorkia izay manakaiky ny fifidianana solombavambahoaka, izay miteraka rivotra politika mafanafana ao amin'ny firenena, mitady hevitra bebe kokoa hanampenam-bava ireo vahoaka manohitra azy sy ny AKP i Erdogan. |
37 | Silencing opposition on social media brings them a step closer to this goal. | Mitondra azy ireo ho amin'ny dingana manakaky io tanjona io ny fanampenam-bava ireo mpanohitra ao amin'ny media sosialy. |
38 | Playing the game | Manaraka ny onjany |
39 | Al Jazeera Turkey reported Tuesday night, not long after the Twitter ban was lifted, that there was another Turkish court order aimed at Google. | Nitatitra ny Al Jazeera ao Tiorkia, ny Talata alina, tsy ela taorian'ny nanalàna ilay fibahanana ny Twitter, fa misy didim-pitsaràna Tiorka hafa indray mikendry ny Google. |
40 | The court order gave Google four hours to remove all images related to the hostage crisis, or face a ban. | Manome ora efatra ho an'ny Google ilay didim-pitsaràna mba hanalàny ireo sary rehetra mikasika ilay fakàna an-keriny, raha tsy izany dia hiatrika fibahanana. |
41 | At the time this article was written, a Google Image search shows far fewer photos of the prosecutor's kidnapping than before and - notably - the service did not get blocked. | Amin'izao fotoana hanoratana ito lahatsoratra ito izao, mampiseho sary vitsy noho ny teo aloha momba ilay fakàna an-keriny ilay mpampanoalalàna ny fitadiavana Sary ao amin'ny Google, ary- araka ny hita - tsy nobahanana io tolotra io. |
42 | According to Twitter's biannual Transparency Report, between July 1 and December 31, 2014, the Turkish government asked Twitter to withhold 2,642 tweets. | Araka ny Tatitra Mangarahara in-droa isan-taona an'ny Twitter, teo anelanelan'ny 01 Jolay sy ny 31 Desambra 2014, nangataka ny Twitter hitàna bitsika miisa 2.642 isa ny governemanta Tiorka. |
43 | In total, Twitter withheld 1,820 tweets requested by the government, amounting to 92% of the total tweets withheld by the service during that period. | Ny fitambarany, nitàna bitsika miisa 1.820 nangatahan'ny governemanta ny Twitter, izay 92 isan-jaton'ny bitsika notànany nandritra izay fotoana izay. |
44 | Moreover, accounts indicated by Turkey accounted for 72% of the accounts the service withheld during these six months. | Eo anilan'izay, ny tarehimarika nolazain'i Tiorkia dia milaza 72 isan-jaton'ny tarehimarika notazonin'ilay tolotra nandritra ny enim-bolana. |
45 | Given its success with this approach, the Turkish government appears to have upped the stakes. | Noho ny fahombiazany amin'io fomba fanao io, toa vao maika nampiakarin'ny governemanta Tiorka ny lentan'ny lalao. |
46 | Since Twitter's prior transparency report - covering activity from January 1 - June 30, 2014 - the service says: “We have received 156% more requests [from Turkey] with the number of accounts specified [for withholds] growing over 765%.” | Hatramin'ny nivoahan'ilay tatitra mangarahara an'ny Twitter - izay naneho ny asa natao niantomboka ny 1 Janoary - 30 Jona 2014 - nilaza toy izao ny Twitter: “Nahazo fangatahana 156 isan-jato mahery izahay [avy amin'i Tiorkia], ary tarehimarika mitombo maherin'ny 765 isan-jato ho an'ny kaonty voafaritra manokana [mba hotànana].” |
47 | Similarly shocking statistics are noted in Facebook's transparency report. | Antontan'isa mahatohina mitovitovy amin'izay no navoakan'ny tatitra mangaraharan'ny Facebook. |
48 | Currently it seems Twitter, Facebook and Google, far from damaging the image of the Turkish state, are actually doing their best to polish it. | Ankehitriny toa hita fa manao izay ho afany amin'izao mba hanadiovana io ny Twitter, Facebook ary ny Google, miala lavitra amin'ny fanomezana endrika ratsy ny fitondrana Tiorka. |
