Turkey has around 80milion people as its population and an elected government. I think these people have the right to summon an ambassador from not just twitter but all big tech giants.
- toyg 6y agoIsn't it a bit of an admission though? Global corps are effectively as powerful as most nation-states now, to the point you need "ambassadors". I expect the next step will be to agree on a Geneva-like convention on this sort of diplomatic mission, where the local representative is guaranteed immunity in exchange for accepting equal representation of a country in the corporation.
- radres 6y agoIsn't it better to admit it than to not do anything about it?
- simonh 6y agoThey weren't just embassies, and the 'ambassadors' weren't just representing the companies, these are state censorship bureaus.
- gus_massa 6y agoDoes the "ambassador of Twitter" has diplomatic immunity, or they can send the ambassador to hail if Twitter breaks a local law?
