1 | China: Social media as political subversion tool | Sina: ny valan-tserasera fitaovam-panakorontanana ara-politika |
2 | This past month has been an interesting one in the cat-and-mouse game between Chinese Internet censorship and its non-conformists. | Tena volana nahaliana tokoa iny volana lasa iny teo amin'ny kilalaon'ny fangalam-piery nisy teo amin'ny fanivanana ny aterineto Sinoa sy ny tsy fanarahana ny fomba raikitra. |
3 | Microblogs in the People's Republic had begun to feel the weight of a heavier government crackdown, following the publication of a report by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) claiming social networking websites are used as tools of “political subversion”. | Nanomboka nahatsapa ny havesatry ny faneren'ny governemanta ireo mpitoraka bilaogy madinika ao amin'ny Repoblika Entim-bahoaka, noho ny fivoahan'ny tatitra avy amin'ny Akademian'ny Siansa Sosialy Sinoa (CASS) manambara fa lasa “fitaovana fanakorontanana ara-politika” ny valan-tserasera. |
4 | The Internet Blue Paper, published by CASS in early July, claimed microblogging and social networking platforms, such as Facebook, helped spur on the ethnic riots in Xinjiang in 2009, in which 200 people were killed and 1,500 injured. | Nanambara ny The Internet Blue Paper, araka ny navoakan'ny CASS tamin'ny voalohandohan'ny volana Jolay, fa nanampy tamin'ny fandrisihana adim-poko tany Xinjiang tamin'ny 2009 izay nahafatesana 200 ary naharatrana 1,500, ny bilaogy madinika sy ireo valan-tserasera, toy ny Facebook. |
5 | It said: | Hoy izy : |
6 | Facebook has appeared as the rallying point for overseas Xinjiang separatist groups … these social networking sites have become a tool of political subversion used by Western nations, including the United States. (…) | Hita ho toerana iray fihaonan'ny mpisintaka ampitan-dranomasina tany Xinjiang ny Facebook… Nanjary lasa fitaovana ara-politika fanakorontanana saim-bahoaka ampiasain'ny firenena tandrefana ny valan-tserasera, anisan'izany i Etazonia . (…) |
7 | Faced with the popularity of social networking sites … it is imperative to exert control … [and] pay a lot of attention to these potential risks and latent dangers. | Eo anatrehan'ny lazan'ireo toeran'ny valan-tserasera ireo … dia tsy maintsy ilaina ny fanaraha-maso … [ary ] jerena akaiky ireo mety ho loza mandindona sy ireo loza mety hitranga . |
8 | Following the riots, both Facebook and microblogging platform Twitter were blocked in the People's Republic, where they remain unaccessible without the use of proxy servers or virtual private networks (VPNs). | Taorian'ireo rotaka ireo, nosakanana daholo na ny Facebook na ny sehatry ny bilaogy madinika Twitter tao amin'ny Repoblika Entim-bahoaka , izay nijanona ho tsy azo nidirana raha tsy mampiasa fitaovana proxy na ireo tambajotra manokana virtoaly (VPNs). |
9 | A domestic microblog, Fanfou, was also shut down last year prior to the twentieth anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. | Nakatona tamin'iny taon-dasa iny ihany koa ny bilaogy madinika eo an-toerana , Fanfou, noho ny fankalazana ny faharoapolo taona ny tsingerin-taonan'ny fanoherana teo an-kianjan'ny Tiananmen tamin'ny taona 1989 . |
10 | However, other homegrown versions, namely those of portals Sina, Sohu and Neatease, remain incredibly popular. | Na izany aza, nijanona ho nalaza tsy manam-petra mihitsy ireo mitovy aminy avy eo an-toerana, indrindra ny sasany amin'ireo vavahadin-tseraseran'i Sina sy Sohu ary Neatease. |
11 | Sina Weibo alone has over 5 million users and, AFP has reported, government figures have shown that around 176 million Chinese Internet users were using social networking sites at the close of 2009, with most between 20 and 29 years of age. | i Sina Weibo fotsiny izao no ahitana mpampiasa mihoatra ny 5 tapitrisa , araka ny notaterin'i AFP , naneho ihany koa ny antontan'isan'ny governemanta fa eo amin'ny Sinoa mpampiasa aterineto, 176 tapitrisa no mampiasa valan-tserasera tamin'ny faran'ny taona 2009, ary eo amin'ny 20 hatramin'ny 29 taona ny ankamaroan'izy ireo . |
12 | Yet, these versions too have felt the wrath of the net nanny. | Niharan'ny hatezeran'ny mpanaramaso ny aterineto ihany koa anefa ireo mitovitovy aminy ireo . |
13 | After a brief period of being inaccessible (which, according to a Sohu customer services representative speaking to the WSJ, was due to maintenance rather than government censorship), sites such as Sina Weibo, Neatease and Tencent bore a ‘beta' icon next to their logos. | Fotoana fohy taty aorian'ny tsy nahafahana niserasera taminy (izay noho ny antony ara-pikarakarana fa tsy noho ny fanakanan'ny governemanta, raha ny filazan'ny solotenan'ny mpikarakaran'ny mpanjifa Sohu tamin'ny resany tamin'ny WSJ), tsy maintsy nametraka sary famantarana kely ‘beta' teo akaikin'ny sarim-pamantarana ny vohikala toy ny Sina Weibo, Neatease ary i Tencent. |
14 | This would suggest testing of some kind, offering users a prototype version. | Ny tiany lazaina dia toy ny hoe mbola misy ny zavatra hohamarinina, ka mbola maodely no atolotra aloha. |
15 | Bnext summarized the situation | Mamehy ny zava-misy i Bnext |
16 | All portal websites claimed that it has nothing to do with the government, just a matter of regular maintenance. | manambara avokoa ny vavahadin'ny tranonkala rehetra fa tsy misy idiran'ny governemanta ity resaka ity, fa resaka fikojakojana fotsiny. |
17 | The deputy director of Sina market department said that Sina micro-blog has been in the beta period since August and they are planning to relaunch the website in their first anniversary. | Nilaza ny tale lefitry ny departemanta misahana ny tsena ao amin'ny Sina fa tao anatin'ny fotoan'ny beta ny bilaogy madinika Sina nanomboka tamin'ny volana Aogositra ary mikasa ny hanokatra ny ny tranonkala indray izy ireo amin'ny tsingerin-taona voalohany. |
18 | However, the fact that a number of portal websites turned themselves into “beta” version is worrisome. | Na izany aza, somary mampatahotra ihany ny zava-misy fa maro amin'ireo vavahadin'ireo tranokala no nanjary nivadika ho dika “beta” . |
19 | Some netizens said that the reason behind maintenance is government censorship order to clear sensitive content. | Nilaza ny mpampiasa aterineto sasany fa ny baiko fanakanan'ny governemanta hamafana ireo vontoatiny mahasorena no antony ao ambadiky ny fikarakarana. |
20 | They even call the incident “713 murdering of micro blog”. | Nantsoin'izy ireo hoe “famonoana ireo bilaogy madinika 713″ mihitsy moa izany . |
21 | The team at ChinaGeeks also tested the theory that the URL shortener on Sina Weibo only works for domestic websites: | Nanandrana nampihatra ny petra-kevitra amin'ny fanafohezana rohy hoe amin'ny an'ny Sina Weibo no mety ny ekipan'ny ChinaGeeks : |
22 | As you can see from our Sina Weibo, we attempted to post five links. | Araky ny hitanareo ao amin'ny Sina Weibo, nanandrana nandefa rohy dimy izahay . |
23 | The first four were to innocuous and unblocked websites outside China, including a New York Times article and the Geico Insurance Company website. | Ny efatra voalohany dia ny mba hampadio sy hanesorana ny fanakanana ireo vohikala ivelan'i Shina, ao anatin'izany ny lahatsoratr'i New York Times sy ny tranonkalan'ny Orinasam-piantohana Geico . |
24 | All four were converted into shortened links automatically, and when clicked, they returned only an error message. | Navadika ho rohy fohy ireo efatra voatonona ireo, ary mamerina hafatra tsy mety izy ireo raha vao tsindriana . |
25 | However, when we tested a fifth time using a domestic link (youku.com), the shortened URL worked fine and we were directed to the Youku. | Na izany aza, miasa tsara ny fanafohezana rohy rehefa avy eto an-toerana (an-tanindrazana) ilay izy (youku.com) teo amin'ny andrana fahadimy. |
26 | So anything - anything - that isn't on a Chinese website can no longer be linked via Sina Weibo. | Noho izany, tsy misy na inona na inona - na inona na inona - afaka mifandrohy amin'ny alalan'ny Sina Weibo intsony ka hoe tsy vohikala Shinoa. |
27 | I'm not even going to comment on this one. | Tsy hilaza ny hevitro aho eto. |
28 | Will it push more Chinese internet users outside the GFW in search of a microblogging experience that doesn't pretend half of the internet doesn't exist? | Hanosika ireo Sinoa mpampiasa aterineto ivelan'ny Rindrina Fanivanana Lehibe izay mikaroka ny traikefan'ny bilaogy madinika tsy mihevitra ve izany fa tsy misy ny antsasaky ny aterineto (any ivelany)? |
29 | Who knows. | Iza no mahalala . |
30 | The bridge blog also translated a post by lawyer and blogger, Liu Xiaoyuan, detailing his own battles with Chinese censorship techniques. | Nandika ny lahatsoratry ny mpahay lalàna sy mpitoraka bilaogy, Liu Xiaoyuan, ihany koa ny bilaogy fifampitana izay manome ny antsipiriany mikasika ny ady nataony amin'ireo teknikan'ny fanakanana Sinoa . |
31 | It was promptly deleted by Sohu, though remains unblocked by Sina (incidentally, upon seeing the ‘beta' logo, Sina microbloggers had written open pleas to the site to not remove posts): | Nofoanan'i Sohu tampoka izany lahatsoratra izany, na dia mbola voasakan'i Sina hatrany aza izany (loza nitranga tampoka , raha nahita ny marika ‘beta', nanoratra fiangaviana misokatra ho an'ny tranonkala tsy hanala ireo lahatsoratra ao ireo mpitoraka bilaogy madinika ): |
32 | In March of 2007, Sohu started to block and hide some of my blog posts. | Tamin'ny Martsa 2007 , nanomboka nanakana sy nanafina ny sasany amin'ireo lahatsoratro ao amin'ny bilaogiko i Sohu. |
33 | I got fed up with it and on August 16, 2007, filed a lawsuit with the Haidian district People's Court. | Leo an'izany aho ary tamin'ny 16 aogositra 2007, nampiakatra izany fitsarana aho tao amin'ny Fitsaran'ny Etim-Bahoaka tao amin'ny distrika Haidian . |
34 | After nearly a year and two trials, both of my suits2 were rejected. | Herintaona sy fitsarana roa taty aoriana, nolavina daholo ny fitoriako roa 2 . |
35 | If even the People's Court sees but does not care about the violation of a citizen's right to free speech, what could I do? | Na mahita ny fandikàna ny zon'ny vahoaka ny haneho malalaka ny heviny aza moa ny Fitsaran'ny Etim-bahoaka nefa tsy miraharaha izany akory , inona no azoko atao? |
36 | On July 28, 2009, I had been writing on my Sohu blog for more than three years. | Tamin'ny 28 Jolay 2009, efa nanoratra tao amin'ny bilaogiko Sohu aho nandritra ny telo taona mahery . |
37 | That day was the first time my blog was forcibly closed. | Io andro io no voalohany noterena hikatona ny bilaogiko. |
38 | They didn't tell me anything [about why the blog was suddenly closed]. | Tsy nilaza na inona na inona tamiko izy ireo [hoe fa naninona no nakatona tampoka ny bilaogiko ]. |
39 | So fine, if you won't tell me anything, then I will tell you something! | Noho izany , rehefa tsy hiteny amiko na inona na inona ianareo , ka hilaza zavatra aminareo ! |
40 | I immediately registered another Sohu blog and gave Sohu a piece of my mind. | Misoratra anarana haingana amin'ny bilaogy Sohu aho ary nanome an'i Sohu izay ao an-dohako. |
41 | I never thought that this blog would be killed on July 12, 2010, before it had even reached one year of age. | Tsy noheveriko mihitsy hoe hovonoina ity bilaogy ity tamin'ny 12 Jolay 2010, talohan'ny nahatrarany ny faha herintaonany . |
42 | On the 13th, I opened another Sohu blog, but it only lived for a single day and was “assassinated” on the 14th. | Tamin'ny 13 jolay , nanokatra bilaogy Sohu hafa aho, fa iray andro ihany izy no velona dia “novonoina” tamin'ny 14 Jolay . |
43 | I've said before, the best way to protest when they close your blog is to open another. | Hoy aho taloha hoe, ny fomba tsara indrindra hanoherana izany rehefa akaton'izy ireo ny bilaoginao, dia ny manokatra hafa indray. |
44 | [I've opened another blog,] I really don't know how long this one will survive. | [Nanokatra bilaogy hafa aho ] Tena tsy haiko mihitsy hoe mandra-pahoviana indray ity iray ity no velona . |
45 | The glitch, however, seems to have been temporary. | Toa niserana ihany aloha ny olana na izany aza . |
46 | We tested ChinaGeeks' Sina Weibo links this morning, all of which were working within the confines of the Great Firewall. | Nandramanay indray ny ChinaGeek-n'ny Sina Weibotamin'ny maraina, miasa daholo izy rehetra ireo ao anatin'ny fetran'ny Rindrina Fanivanana. |
47 | Furthermore, it would seem as though the notorious Green Dam filtering software is reaching its demise. | Fanampin'izany, tahaka ny hoe eo ampialana aina ny rindram-baiko malaza. |
48 | A project office set up to promote the software, which the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), deemed manufacturers ship PCs with, has been shut down due to a lack of financial support. | Nakatona noho ny tsy fisian'ny fanohanana ara-bola ny tetik'asa ofisy natao hampiroborobo ny rindram-baiko noheverin'ny ministry ny Indostria sy ny Teknolojia Vaovao ampidirina avy hatrany miaraka amin'ny solosaina. |
49 | With intense backlash from the blogosphere, including the vehement declaration by the Anonymous Netizens in June 2009, plans for mandatory installation were withdrawn. | Najanona avokoa ny fikasana tsy maintsy hametrahana [ny rindrambaiko] noho ny fandavana henjana dia henjana avy amin'ny tontolon'ny bilaogy, anisan'izany ny fanambarana mandehandeha avy amin' ireo Mpiserasera tsy fantatra anarana tamin'ny volana Jona 2009 . |
50 | Prior to this month's events, the government released its first White Paper on the Internet in China, which stated that “Chinese citizens fully enjoy freedom of speech on the Internet.” | Noho ity fotoan-dehibe tamin'ity volana ity, namoaka ny Gazety Fotsy voalohany momba ny aterineto any Sina ny fitondrana, izay namaritra fa ” tena mianoka feno ny fahalalahana eo amin'ny fanehoan-kevitra amin'ny aterineto ny olompirenena Sinoa .” |
51 | That is, so long as they do not “infringe upon state, social, and collective interests or the legitimate freedom and rights and other citizens.” | Izany no misy raha mbola tsy “voatohitohina ny tombotsoam-pirenena, sy fiarahamonina ary ny iraisana na ny fahalalahana ara-dalàna sy ny zon'ny hafa.” |
