Facebook shuts down pages about protests in Turkey
samedi 29 juin 2013 à 14:00Facebook shut down some pages about protests in Turkey because they had "fake profiles". No surprise that people protesting in Turkey may not want to tell the Turkish state who they are.
This shows why any communication system that requires users to identify themselves is inadequate for democracy. That means Facebook and Google+ are no good. (Google+ allows pseudonyms, but since Google has an office in Turkey, Google would have to tell Turkey the user's real name.)
