Turkish Twitter Workaround

My sympathies to the good people of Turkey who have been locked out of Twitter by Turkish Nanny.

For why?

It seems some people on Twitter have been accusing the Turkish government of being corrupt!

Surely not?

Turkish Nanny is so annoyed, that her chum Erdogan has vowed to "eradicate Twitter!".

Bold words indeed.

Bold, but hollow.

Turkish users can send Tweets using SMS. Avea and Vodafone text START to 2444. Turkcell text START to 2555.

To subscribe to a user's tweets via SMS, users can send ON [username] to their carrier's Twitter short code (i.e., 2444 or 2555 for most Turkish users). Twitter provides step-by-step instructions on its support page.

Anyhoo, for those people in Turkey who don't like to be censored and feel that they should be allowed to access Twitter, the above photo provides a means of accessing it without Turkish Nanny getting in the way.

Nanny Hates Social Media

Aside from wanting to stop us looking at boobies etc on the net, Nanny has a real dislike of social media (such as Twitter and Facebook) in general.

For why?

Just as when the printing press was invented, governments don't like it when people find ways to communicate with each other and criticise government policy etc. Thus social media, which abounds with criticism of government policy, is a particular anathema to Nanny.

She disguises her real reason for hating it by playing the "won't someone think of the children?" card; Nanny claims that children are misusing social media sites, and as such the sites should be regulated.

The solution to the "misuse" by teenagers etc of social media sites is not to regulate it to death, but to educate children as to the risks and consequences of sharing their entire life with strangers (in much the same way as I was warned as a kid not to accept sweets from strangers etc).

Additionally, parents may actually care to take an "interest" in their childrens' upbringing and possibly not give them mobile phones with cameras until they are sure that their kids understand the risks of posting photos etc.

This is not an area that should be regulated in a heavy handed manner by Nanny, who is intent on controlling what we say about her (cue Vietnam's recent ban on anything being posted on the internet other than "personal information").

Oh The Irony!

Yesterday I asked Nanny:

"Why do you arrest other people for alleged racist/inflammatory hate tweets, yet Paris remains free and still employed?"

Today I see she has read and responded to my question.

Nanny Allows Tweeting When Drunk

I am gemused to read that the Director of Public Prosecutions has said that people who post offensive messages on websites such as Twitter while drunk, only to delete them when they sober up, are unlikely to face criminal prosecution.

Hoozah!

Does that mean Nanny will require urine samples from people everyone they post a tweet?

Big Brother Is Watching You - The Dangers of Tweeting

Those of you who are fellow Tweeters (my Tweet id is @ken_frost) may care to read the following cautionary tale about what happens when you make a seemingly innocent Tweet, and it is read by others who are not your friends or followers.

Leigh Van Bryan and Emily Bunting are two Brits who were planning to go on holiday to the USA recently.

Being born after Queen Victoria died, they were happily tweeting about their anticipated holiday and used language that "young" people regularly use about partying and drinking etc.

In one tweet Van Bryan said:

"Free this week, for quick gossip/prep before I go and destroy America."

"Destroy" means party.

In another he quoted Family Guy (a US cartoon), and said:

"3 weeks today, we're totally in LA p****** people off on Hollywood Blvd and diggin' Marilyn Monroe up!"

Can you guess what happened next children?

Yes, that's right, when they arrived in the USA the Department of Homeland Security (who had been monitoring their tweets) had them held by armed guards, searched them for shovels and questioned them for 5 hours after which they were put in cells overnight and flown back to the UK.


Seemingly one of the Homeland Security people said:

"You’ve really fucked up with that tweet, boy.”

In theory profiling potential terrorists and criminals etc is the "smart" thing to do. However, the effectiveness of profiling is rather undermined if the people doing the profiling don't even seem to understand their own "culture" (eg not knowing the vernacular meaning of "destroy", or references to "Family Guy").

The Response To Social Unrest

I cannot say that I am entirely in agreement with David Cameron's suggestions that it might be a good idea to shut down social networking sites during times of "unrest".

1 It may not actually be technically possible to totally shut them down.

2 It is the technique used by dictators that we are pro-actively encouraging people in other countries to overthrow.

3 It will turn an issue that is in effect "criminality" into one that is a "political cause".

In short, it would be a very dangerous step to take.

Something For The Weekend

I am hugely gemused to see that ours is not the only country prone to Nannyism of the most absurd.

Nanny's chums in France have excelled themselves in a recent edict concerning the use by the media of the words "Twitter" and "Facebook".

French Nanny has banned these two words!

Snort!

Seemingly, French Nanny's official explanation is that media organisations must not be seen to be favourable (or provide free advertising) to any one particular organisation.

The norm for a journalist or media organisation to say "follow me on Twatter" or "link up on Faecesbook" etc. However, French Nanny claims that there are other organisations, outwith Twatter and Faecesbook, that should be given their fair chance too.

All very plausible, maybe;)

However, the real reason is that the sites/words "Twatter" and "Faecesbook" are Anglo Saxon and, as such, an abomination to the culture and language of France.

My French is a tad rusty, therefore please feel free to suggest some alternative French words for "Twatter" and Faecesbook".

Have it large this weekend folks!
