5 | I once interviewed a Cuban blogger who described the Internet as a place where Cubans (the few who were online) could experience a form of citizenship-an active, participatory democratic experience-that they couldn't have in real life. | Indray andro, nanadihady bilaogera iray avy ao Kioba aho, izy no namaritra ny aterineto ho toy ny toerana iray ahafahan'ny Kiobàna (ireo olom-bitsy ety anaty aterneto) miaina endrika iray amin'ny atao hoe maha-olom-pirenena izany - fiainana fandraisana anjara mavitrika, demokratika iray - izay tsy azon-dry zareo niainana tamin'ny tena fiainany andavan'andro. |
6 | As she put it, “we are learning to be citizens in cyberspace.” | Hoy izy, “anaty aterneto izahay no mianatra izany hoe ho olom-pirenena izany.” |
7 | Although her focus was on the particular limitations on public expression and debate in Cuba, I took her point broadly, thinking of my Internet activist colleagues who often describe themselves as being citizens or residents “of the Internet.” | Na dia niompana tamin'ny famèrana azy ireo tsy haneho hevitra malalaka ampahibe maso sy hanao adihevitra ao Kioba aza ny resany, noraisiko tamin'ny fomba midadasika ny fanehoan-keviny, no sady nosainiko ireo namako mafàna fo mpisera ety “anaty aterneto” izay mazàna no misora-tena ho olom-pirenena na mponin'ny “aterineto” |
8 | As online movements have grown in scope and impact, many of us have developed a do-it-yourself, participatory sense of citizenship that is more strongly tied to a global collective than to a transactional agreement with a particular nation state. | Koa satria niha nahazo vahana sy niha nahaliana olona ny hetsika anaty aterineto, maro amintsika no nahazo ilay fomba fiainana manao hoe ataovy- amin'ny- fombanao, fomba fandraisan'andraikitra amin'ny lafiny fiarahamonina izay mahazo vahana kokoa noho ny fifanarahana vonjy tavan'andro ambaran'ny firenena. |
9 | We have not only fought hard to uphold some policies and strike down others, but we've actually started to develop international standards for the exercise and protection of rights online. | Tsy hoe fotsiny niady mafy isika hametraka politika sasantsasany sy handrodanana ny hafa, fa tena efa ho an'ny fenitra iraisampirenena ho fampiharana sy fiarovana ny zo ety anaty aterneto. |
10 | Countries, borders, and nationalities remain dominant and important in many ways, but they do not feel as sharply defined or as binding as before. | Ny firenena, ny tany, ary ny fiaviana dia mbola loha laharana hatrany ary tena manan-danja hatrany tokoa eo amin'ny sehatra maro, kanefa efa tsy dia voafaritra mazava tsara intsony na tsy voafehy toy ny teo aloha intsony. |
11 | These two paradigms, the traditional world of nation-states and the new one of fluid borders and internauts, had a nasty collision this June, when leaked NSA documents revealed that the US government was spying on a sizable chunk of the global population. | Ireo lasitra roa ireo, ny tontolo nentim-paharazan'ireo firenena sy ilay tontolo vaovaon'ireo mpisera ety anaty aterineto manana sisintany afaka miovaova, dia nifandona henjana tamin'iny volana Jona iny, rehefa nabaribarin'ireo antontan-drakitra nitete avy ao amin'ny NSA fa manara-maso akaiky ny olona erak'izao tontolo izao ny governemanta Amerikana. |
12 | It's easy to assume that this might have happened no matter what, but the particular terms that governed the lawless, unchecked surveillance regime of the NSA cut right at the heart of this question of borders and “Internet citizenship”. | Mora ny miteny hoe mety hitranga fona izany na ahoana na ahoana, fa kosa ny andàlana manokana mifehy ny fanaraha-maso tsy ara-drariny tsy manaraka ny lalàna ao ami'ny NSA dia mivantana avy hatrany any amin'ny fon'ity olana momba ny sisintany sy ny “maha-olom-pirenena ety anaty aterneto” ity. |
13 | We now know that NSA spying practices hinge on an arbitrary measure of “foreignness”. | Ankehitriny, fantatsika fa ny fomba fanaovan'ny NSA fitsikilovana dia mifototra amina fepetra antemantemaka “maha vahiny”. |
14 | Predicated on the faulty assumption that terrorists are usually foreign, authorities decided to track the communications of foreigners at large, rather than limiting their investigations to people who were actually associated with terrorist organizations. | Mirona amin'ilay hevi-diso hoe matetika avy any ivelany hatrany ny mpampihorohoro, dia nanapa-kevitra ireo manampahefana hanara-maso betsaka ny fifandraisan'ireo vahiny fa tsy mametra ny fanadihadiany amin'ireo olona manana fifandraisana amin'ny fikambanana mpampihorohoro raha ny marina. |
15 | If analysts could prove that an individual was foreign or at least bore a “51% likelihood of foreignness,” a measure based on how often they communicated with individuals outside of the country, they could spy on this person as they pleased. | Raha vitan'ireo mpandalina ny manaporofo fa vahiny ny olona iray na “manana 51% ihany aza haha-vahiny azy,” fepetra iray mifotora amin'ny habetsahan'ny fifandraisany amin'ny olona ivelan'ny firenena, dia metyhotsikilovin-dry zareo io olona io, araka izay tiany. |
16 | After all, under US law, the government is not obligated to guarantee constitutional protections to people who don't live in the US. | Etsy ankilan'izay, eo anatrehan'ny lalàna ao Etazonia, ny governemanta dia tsy voatery hiantoka fiarovana araka ny lalàm-panorenana Amerikana ho an'ny olona tsy monina ao Etazonia. |
17 | Many advocates in the US since have focused on defending the rights of US people before this practice-over half the population of the US was deemed foreign by this standard. | Mpahay lalàna maro avy ao Etazonia no nivondrona niaro ny zon'ireo mponina monina ao Etazonia talohan'io fampiharana io -antsasaky ny mponina tao Etazonia no noheverina fa vahiny raha arak'io fenitra io. |
18 | But the NSA's hare-brained “foreignness” measurement scheme proves that online, it is all but impossible to prioritize the rights of one group (in this case, “US people”) over those of another. | Kanefa ny fepetra noraisin'ny NSA momba ny “maha vahiny” dia nanaporofo fa ety anaty aterneto, tsy azo atao ny manome tombony ny zo-nà vondrona iray (eto dia ny, “VAhoaka Amerikana” ) ho ambony noho ny an'ny hafa. |
19 | The results of this policy also prove something about the porousness of our borders. | Ny vokatr'io politika io dia nanaporofo ihany koa ny maha-kilaodaoka ny sisintanintsika. |
20 | While most of us belong to at least one state, we connect to people in many countries through our daily communications and lives online. | Raha avy aminà fanjakana iray ny tsrairay amintsika, farafaharatsiny, mifandray amin'ireo olona avy amin'ireo fanjakana firenena maro isika isan'andro amin'ny alalan'ny aterneto. |
21 | Borders are a fluid thing. | Afaka miovaova ny sisintanintsika. |
22 | In the offline world, we accept the fact that laws and our rights vary from country to country. | Amin'ny fiainana andavan'andro, miaiky izahay fa samy hafa ny zo sy lalàna ao amin'ny firenena tsirairay avy. |
23 | But online, where both social norms and technical realities have led to a more fluid reality, this is not so easy to swallow. | Kanefa anaty aterneto, dia sarotra ihany ny hisaina izany satria mitondra mankaminà zava-misy afaka miovaova kokoa, na ny fenitra ara-sosialy ao, na ara-teknika. |
24 | If we continue to protect only the rights of certain people based on citizenship or some other crude measure, we will lose. | Raha tohizantsika ny fiarovana fotsiny ny zon'ireo olona sasantsasany, miainga amin'ny zom-pirenena na fepetra hafa tsy mitombina, dia ho very eto isika. |
25 | We must see the borderlessness that technology has afforded us not just as a beautiful concept, but as a practical reality. | Tokony tsy ho jerentsika ho tahàka ny petra-kevitra mahafinaritra fotsiny ny tsy fisianà sisintany omen'ny teknolojia antsika, fa ho jerena toy ny zava-misy azo ampiasaina. |
26 | The Internet is a place where we actually could try to protect everyone's rights, equally. | Raha ny marina dia sehatra iray azontsika hanandramana hiarovana ny zon'olombelona rehetra ny aterneto, tsy an-kanavaka. |
27 | In the face of these challenges, rights advocates around the world are working to assert and uphold universal human rights, a concept of which US leaders (clearly not thinking ahead) were original proponents. | Eo anatrehan'ireo fanamby ireo, ireo mpiaro ny zon'olombelona maneran-tany dia miasa hametrahana sy hiarovana ny zon'olom-belona manerana izao tontolo izao, hevitra fototra niaingan'ireo mpitarika avy ao Etazonia (tsy naminavina loatra ny mety hitranga) tamin'ny voalohany. |
28 | Arguably, there's never been a better time to actually put this concept into action. | Azo antoka fa tsy fotoana mety mihitsy izao hampiharana io hevitra fototra io. |
29 | We have at our disposal a medium that is not entirely universal, but comes closer to being so than anything else we've ever had. | Manana fitaovana isika izay tsy tena iraisan'izao tontolo izao, fa kosa efa mihamanakaiky an'izay raha miohatra amin'izay efa nanantsika taloha. |
30 | The Internet not only enables us to imagine this universality on a real scale - it also empowers us to do something about it. | Tsy hoe fotsiny manome antsika ny fahafahana hihevitra an'izay firaisana izay ny Aterneto - fa manome hery antsika koa hanao zavatra mikasika azy io. |
