Open Letter to Twitter to Restore Politwoops Access to API September 2015 We, the Undersigned, Are International Human Rights An Open letter to Twitter to restore Politwoops access to API September 2015 We, the undersigned, are international human rights and transparency groups based around the world. We are writing in opposition to Twitter’s recent decision to revoke the ability of the tool Politwoops and similar tools to utilize Twitter’s Application Programming Interface, or API. We believe Twitter’s decision holds grave consequences for free expression and transparency around the world. Background In 2010, the Netherlands-based Open State Foundation created the Politwoops tool to publish Tweets deleted by politicians. From then onwards, the Open State Foundation rolled out Politwoops with the help of individuals and organizations in 32 countries, including the Sunlight Foundation in the U.S. Twitter then revoked the ability of the Sunlight Foundation to use its API in May 2015 and it revoked the Open State Foundation’s access to the API on August 21. Transparency and due process To justify its decision, Twitter explained that, “No one user is more deserving of that ability [to delete a tweet] than another. Indeed, deleting a tweet is an expression of one’s voice.” Twitter’s reasoning conflates transparency and accountability with privacy. We agree that when users decide to delete tweets they are engaging in expression—but add that the public has a compelling interest in the expression of public officials. Recognizing this public interest, courts have long held that public officials do not receive the same treatment for privacy. Further, when public officials use Twitter to amplify their political views, they invite greater scrutiny of their expression. Journalists and civil society utilize tools like Politwoops to understand the views and commitments of the people these politicians represent—and the politician or candidate’s own intents and perspective. In this case, the citizen’s right to freedom of expression —which includes access to information—outweighs the official’s right to a retroactive edit. In terms of process, this decision involved minimal dialogue with the Open State Foundation and the Sunlight Foundation. There was no opportunity to appeal the decision, which impacted a widely-used, volunteer-run service. The action carried out by Twitter was arbitrary and cuts against the very principles of transparency that Politwoops was designed to confront. We recognize that the API license gives Twitter discretion to enforce its terms. However, Twitter should also take into account human rights when it exercises that discretion—and particularly the right of people to access to information where it serves the interest of public accountability and transparency in a democratic society. There are times when what is legal must be outweighed by what is right. Recommendations We note that Twitter has been a leader in transparency and free expression since its founding. The platform has helped foster numerous advances in journalism and in accountability. This makes the unilateral decision by Twitter so troubling and off-course. Accordingly, we urge you to: 2 ● immediately restore access for the Politwoops tool to the Twitter API in every country around the world; ● convene stakeholders to develop a forward-looking API policy, or other constructive solution, that allows civil society groups to effectively promote accountability and transparency for the public interest; ● make clear exceptions in the “Twitter Developer Agreement & Policy” for information shared in the public interest, such as for transparency or journalistic purposes; ● participate in multistakeholder organizations which facilitate meetings between civil society, investors, academics, and corporations on decisions impacting human rights.

We are expecting over 600 delegates, representing over 80 different countries, to join us at Cardiff’s historic City Hall. The conference theme is ‘The Party’s Over?’; are the assumptions that have underpinned political life and political analysis sustainable? This subject will most certainly be explored during our Plenary Session ‘Leveson and the Future of Political Journalism’, a debate that has enormous ramifications for the future of UK politics. We will bring together some of the most passionate and eloquent voices on this topic; Chris Bryant MP, Trevor Kavanagh, Mick Hume and Professor Brian Cathcart. This year’s Government and Opposition- sponsored Leonard Schapiro lecture will be given by Professor Donatella Della Porta, who will consider the issue of political violence, the new editor of the American Political Science Review, Professor John Ishiyama, will discuss ‘The Future of Political Science’ and the First Minister of Wales, Carwyn Jones AM, will address attendees at the conference dinner.

  • Digital Culture in Turkey [I] *
    * Digital culture in Turkey [I] * Introduction [II] * Turkey has a young population that adopts new communication technologies very rapidly. For this reason for the coming years an increase in cultural output by using communication technologies is expected. There may also be more contemporary artists who employ digital techniques in an interesting way in the near future. The E-culture field as it is understood in the Netherlands, however, is very small in Turkey. There is rarely a feeling of a digital creative scene, nor of a community of digital artists. Critique on communication technologies is mostly given by contemporary artists, civil society activists, and technology experts. If these actors can interact and deepen their knowledge, the e-cultural ecosystem in Turkey can grow stronger, and meaningful digital-physical hybrids will emerge. The current e-culture scene in Turkey is very small and needs to grow to accommodate and adsorb the big wave of students that will leave the many (communication) design departments in the coming five years. * Adoption rates [III] * Turkey has been a thorough consumer of communication technologies, first with the widespread adoption of cell phones in the ‘90s, then with the rapidly increasing use of social network services in the past 5 years. Today, Turkey has a 90% penetration rate in cell phone subscriptions and more than 20 million Facebook users, being the 4th after the US, UK, and Indonesia. The contemporary digital ecosystem is mediated by widespread use of internet-enabled smart phones, web based social network services, blog networks, P2P file sharing networks, and pirate DVD retailers.

Çalışmada Türkiye’deki durumun bu açıdan analizi yapılmaya çalışılırken bu analizin etkili olması açısından farklı ülkelerdeki uygulamalarla, Avrupa Birliği Siber Suç Sözleşmesi ve Avrupa Birliği’nin ilgili yönergeleri ile karşılaştırma yapılması yöntemi tercih edilmiştir. Çalışmada özellikle internet medyasının içeriğinin yeni belirleyicisi olan sosyal ağlar ve diğer web 2.0 uygulamaları hukuki açıdan incelenmiştir. Dolayısıyla da, web 2.0 niteliğindeki “sosyal medya” olarak adlandırdığımız yeni dönem internet sitelerinin kullanılmasıyla yaşanabilecek muhtemel toplumsal ve ekonomik değişimlere değinildiği gibi, bu anlamda gelecekte kullanacağımız web 3.0 niteliğindeki akılı ve/veya yapay zekalı teknolojiler de ele alınmıştır. Türkiye’de henüz “Kişisel Verileri Koruma Kanunu” olmamasından kaynaklanan sorunlar ve ilgili mevcut mevzuat incelenmiştir.

  • Anti-Establishment Radical Parties in 21 Century Europe
    Anti-Establishment Radical Parties in 21st Century Europe by Harry Nedelcu A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of PhD in Political Science Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario © Harry Nedelcu i Abstract The current crisis in Europe is one that superimposed itself over an already existing political crisis - one which, due to the cartelization of mainstream parties, Peter Mair (1995) famously referred to as a problem of democratic legitimacy in European political systems between those political parties that govern but no longer represent and those that claim to represent but do not govern. As established cartel-political parties have become complacent about their increasing disconnect with societal demands, the group of parties claiming to represent without governing has intensified its anti-elitist, anti-integrationist and anti-mainstream party message. Indeed many such parties, regardless of ideology (radical right but also radical-left), have surged during the past decade, including in the European Parliament elections of 2009 and especially 2014. The common features of these parties are: a) a radical non-centrist ideological stance (be it on the left or right, authoritarian or libertarian dimensions); b) a populist anti-establishment discourse, c) a commitment to representing specific societal classes; d) an aggressive discourse and behaviour towards political enemies, e) a commitment towards ‘restoring true democracy’ and f) a tendency to offer simplistic solutions to intricate societal issues. The question this dissertation asks is - what accounts for the rise of left-libertarian as well as right-wing authoritarian tribune parties within such a short period of time during the mid-2000s and early 2010s? I investigate this question through a comparative study of six EU member- states.
