5Al-Arabiya reports that the Saudi Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) has given companies until the end of this week to respond.Nitatitra i Al-Arabiya fa nanome fe-potoana ho an'ireo orinasam-pifandraisana hatramin'ity herinandro ity ny Vaomieran'ny Teknolojiam-pifandraisana sy ny Fampahalalam-baovao (CTIC) mba hanome valin-teny.
6If the companies do not comply with the Saudi request, the commission may take action and block these services.Raha tsy mamaly ny fangatahan'i Arabia ireo orinasa, mety handray fepetra ny vaomiera ary hanakatona ireo tolotra ireo..

9The Saudi authorities are threatening to block popular communication services such as Skype, WhatsApp and Viber unless the operating companies agree to monitoring of messages and calls.“Raha sanatria ka milaza ireo orinasam-pifandraisana fa sarotra ho azy ireo ny hanara-maso ny fampiharana ireo, nampitandrina ny vaomiera fa handray fepetra hanakatona ny fampiasana ireo fitaovana manerana ny fanjakana.”
10Al-Arabiya reports that the Saudi Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) has given companies until the end of this week to respond.
11“In case they say it is impossible to monitor the applications, the commission said it will consider procedures to block them altogether in the kingdom.”
12The Jeddah-based Arab News says the authorities are concerned because the applications use encrypted connections:Nilaza ny gazety Arabo Jeddah fa sahirantsaina ireo manampahefana satria mampiasa fifandraisana voaaro ny fampiharana:
13“According to two informed sources who work at local telecommunication companies, this issue has been at the top of the agenda of discussions during meetings between heads of telecom companies and the CITC over the past 20 days.“Araka ny loharanom-baovao roa maripototra avy amin'ireo orinasam-pifandraisan-davitra ao an-toerana, lohahevitra lehibe noresahin'ireo mpitantana orinasam-pifandraisan-davitra sy ny mpikambana ao amin'ny CTIC nandritra ny 20 andro mahery ity olana ity.
14The meetings have finally concluded with the CITC demanding that it be allowed to monitor the encrypted applications.”Niafara tamin'ny fitakian'ny CTCI ahafahana manara-maso ireo fampiharana mampiasa fifandraisana voaaro ny fihaonana.”
15Predictably, the authorities justify their demand for monitoring on the grounds that it will help prevent crime and terrorism.Araka ny efa nampoizina, nahita fomba hanamarinana ny fitakiany ny manampahefana fa hisorohana ny heloka sy ny fampihorohoroana ny anton'ny fanarahamaso.
16But, as Ahram Online points out, conservatives in the kingdom are worried about the growth of internet-based social networks which are outside their control and which “have enlarged the severely restricted scale of freedom of expression”.Saingy nanipika i Ahram Online, fa miahiahy momba ny firoboroboan'ny tambajotra sosialy izay mirongatra ao amin'ny aterineto ny konservativa ao amin'ny fanjakana, tambajotra izay tsy vitan'izy ireo fehezina sy “lasa lavitra tsy araka ny fetra napetraka tamin'ny fahalalaham-pitenenana”.
17Whitaker reminds us:Whitaker nampahatsiahy antsika:
18The question now is whether the companies concerned will agree to the CITC's demands.Ny fanontaniana mipetraka ankehitriny dia ny hahalalana raha hanaiky ny fitakian'ny CTCI ireo orinasa na tsia.
19There was a similar issue three years ago when the CITC threatened to shut down the BlackBerry Messenger service unless it was given access to codes that would allow monitoring of messages.Efa nisy olana tahaka izao tamin'ny telo taona lasa raha nandrahona hanakatona ny hafatra amin'ny BlackBerry ny CTCI raha toa ka tsy manome azy ireo ny teny miafina fidirana ny BlackBerry mba ahafahana mamaky na manara-maso ireo hafatra.
20The matter was later resolved, though it is not clear how.Voavaha ihany anefa ny olana, na dia tsy fantatra mazava tsara aza hoe tamin'ny fomba ahoana.
21The CITC said it was dropping the ban after Research in Motion, the Canadian company behind BlackBerry, met “part” of its regulatory requirements.Nilaza ny CTCI fa nanaisotra ny fandraràna nahazo ny Research in Motion, orinasa Kanadiana mitantana ny BlackBerry izy ireo, rehefa nanapa-kevitra “hanaraka” ireo fitsipika sasany notakiana ny orinasa.
22Some reports suggested the company had caved in and agreed to put a BlackBerry server in the country so that the Saudis could directly access customer data.Nanambara kosa ny tatitra sasany fa nanaiky hametraka lohamilina (serveur) ao amin'ny firenena ity orinasa ity mba hahafahan'ireo Saodiana hiditra mivantana sy hahita ireo vaovao tsiambaratelon'ny mpanjifa .
23On Riyadh Bureau, Ahmed Al Omran reports that Saudi Arabia's grand mufti Abdulaziz Al Sheikh has described Twitter as a place where youth waste their time and a “gathering place for every clown and corrupter who post tweets that are illegitimate, false and wrong.”Tao amin'ny habaka Riyadh Bureau, nitatitra i Ahmed Al Omran fa namariparitra ny Twitter ho sehatra fandaniam-potoana amin'ny tsy misy dikany ho an'ireo tanora sy “toerana fihaonan'ireo adala rehetra sy mpanakorontana mpandefa sioka tsy ara-dalàna, diso ary lainga” i Abdulaziz Al Sheik, lehiben'ny “pretra (mufti)” ao Arabia Saodita.
24Al Omran adds:Al Omran nanampy hoe:
25The Grand Mufti has become increasingly critical of Twitter users recently.Nanjary nitsikera hatrany ireo mpisera Twitter ny Lehiben'ny pretra tato ato.
26In January 2012 he said the social network “has become a platform for trading accusations and for promoting lies used by some just for the sake of fame.”Tamin'ny Janoary 2012, nilaza izy fa nanjary “sehatra famarotana fiampangana sy fampiroboroboana lainga ataon'ireo olona tsy manan-katao ny tambajotra sosialy.”
27Then in October he called people who use the site “fools” and accused them of lacking modesty and faith.Ary tamin'ny volana Oktobra, niantso ireo mpisera Twitter ho toy ny “olona adala” izy ary niampanga azy ireo ho tsy manana fanetre-tena sy fanantenana.
28He also offers statistics on Twitter users in Saudi Arabia saying:Nampahafantatra antontan'isa mikasika ireo mpisera Twitter ao Arabia Saodita ihany koa i Al Omran:
29Twitter has become a major platform for Saudi to exchange ideas and debate political issues in the country.Nanjary sehatra tsy azo ialana amin'ny fifanakalozan-kevitra sy adihevitra politika ao amin'ny firenena ny Twitter.
30A recent survey said 51% of internet users in Saudi Arabia are active Twitter users, putting it in first place worldwide.Nanambara ny fikarohana farany teo fa 51%n' ny mpisera aterineto ao Arabia Saodita dia mpisera Twitter avokoa, voalohany manerantany.
31A Saudi official admitted last month that the government is struggling to monitor and censor the site due to the huge volume of messages posted by users inside the country.Niaiky ilay manamboninahitra Saodiana tamin'ny volana lasa teo fa manao izay ho afany ny governemanta mba hahafahany manara-maso sy manivana habaka noho ireo hafatra marobe alefan'ny mpiserasera ao amin'ny firenena.
32As Saudis make their voices heard online, thanks to the wide reach of social media, Saudi authorities seem to be working even harder at muzzling their voices.Noho ny fivoaran'ny tambajotra sosialy, afaka mampahafatatra ny feony ao amin'ny aterineto ny Saodiana, manao izay ho afany kosa ireo manampahefana Saodiana mba hanampenam-bava azy ireo.
