Deepfake videos used in local elections in Turkey as Erdogan battles for Istanbul

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is leading a battle to regain control of Istanbul in hotly contested local elections this month. However, opposition media is warning about deepfake videos in campaign ads, while international rights groups are voicing alarm over social media companies' willingness to comply with Turkish censorship ahead of the critical polls. Polls show the elections are going to be a tight contest. But as Erdogan's AK Party steps up efforts to regain control of Istanbul, an artificial intelligence-generated video of incumbent mayor Ekrem Imamoglu praising Erdogan for his achievements in Istanbul has been circulating on social media. Independent media warn of the threat of fake news, as mainstream media, which is mostly under government control, are not verifying the authenticity of the videos.Deepfake videos"Deepfake videos are usually not posted on news sites, but they reach millions of people as advertisements. These stick to the candidate." explains Hikmet Adal , social media editor at Bianet, an independent news portal."The voting segment in Turkey is 40 million. When you ask people if Ekrem Imamoglu actually said this, they will say 'he did' because they only follow the mainstream media," added Adal.During last year's presidential elections, Erdogan used a video falsely showing his opponent Kemal Kilicdaroglu with leaders of the Kurdish separatist group the PKK, which is fighting the Turkish government.Yaman Akdeniz of Turkey's Freedom of Expression Association fears more fake news videos will appear as election day draws closer."We will witness more of these leading into the local elections, which is of course a major concern," warns Akdeniz,"And there were some examples of that prior to the May 2023 general elections. A photo of the opposition leader came out with PKK leaders. Even the president of Turkey commented , saying that he knows that it is fake, but they still used it."Turkey's small independent media sector, which is crucial to the exposing of fake news is facing increasing pressure from Turkish authorities. Much of their news is blocked on social media."What we've seen is that very, very often material, mainly news on social media, is removed and blocked online," explains Emma Sinclair-Webb senior Turkey researcher of Human Rights Watch. Call for actionHuman Rights Watch was among 22 international rights groups calling on social media companies to stand up to Turkish authorities' demands for removal of postings."It's very concerning to see that authorities are willing to clamp down on free speech, but social media companies themselves are not robust enough to stand up to this pressure," added Sinclair-Webb,"We want them to be more transparent and to work together in raising concerns about requests by Turkey to block content that is clearly within the boundaries of freedom of expression and also to contest others in court in Turkey. " Turkey's presidential challenger faces uphill battle to unite opposition Volunteer army of election monitors prepare to protect Turkey's voteA growing number of prosecutions of independent media under a new disinformation law adds to the pressures they face. Many Turks are now turning to international news platforms.But Turkish authorities are blocking internet access to foreign news sources which broadcast in Turkish like Deutsche Welle and Voice of America.These portals are only accessible by a virtual private network, or VPN, which circumvents the ban. But now, some of the most widely used VPNs also face restrictions.  Attack on football referee exposes anti-elite resentment in divided Turkey "Restricting access to the internet has become a sort of playbook for regimes and authoritarian governments. And so we see across the world an increase in VPN usage, especially in countries like this, like Turkey," said Antonio Cesarano of Proton, a VPN provider. "It's a cat-and-mouse game. We will try our best to keep fighting and to keep investing in technology that can bring people back online."Turkish based independent news providers  warn they are facing a losing battle in verifying fake news."As  alternative media, it is not possible for us to fight against this," said Bianet, social media editor Adal."Our teams are very limited to 20 people, maybe 15 people, at maximum. But there is an army behind this.With opinion polls indicating the Istanbul election too close to call, analysts warn the danger of fake news is likely to grow along with pressure on independent news.

The results of Turkey's presidential election are finally in and Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who had been forced into a runoff against his chief opponent, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, gets to keep his job as leader of NATO's most troublesome member.Were the elections free and fair? Meh, says Foreign Policy/Council on Foreign Relations expert Steven Cook. This week he joins us to wrap up one of the world's most anticipated elections—even if the suspense was never more than mild.Erdogan isn't either a benevolent dictator or a tyrant. He's an authoritarian of his own flavor—and at least 52 percent of Turks can't get enough of it. In the 20 years he's been in power, he's mostly been a man for his moment, mixing Islamist beliefs with strong ties to at least military modernity. Before the May 28 vote, the 69-year-old had won many elections—by a lot. He was a popular reformist mayor of Turkey's largest and most storied city, Istanbul. He did so well there that he and his Islamist Justice and Development Party, AKP, moved up to the national stage.So, Steven, what's next for Erdogan and the rest of the world that has to deal with him?Listen to the show to find out.Angry Planet has a Substack!

When journalist Barak Ravid's book "Trump's Peace: the Abraham Accords and the Reshaping of the Middle East" was published in Hebrew in 2021, two words in his text made international headlines. Bitter about the Israeli Prime Minister's eagerness to congratulate President Joe Biden on his win, Trump said of Benjamin Netanyahu in their 90-minute interview for the book: "Fuck him," making a point of declaring "I haven't spoken to him since." In a conversation with Haaretz Weekly host Allison Kaplan Sommer, Ravid reports that two full years later, Trump and Netanyahu still haven't exchanged a word. On the occasion of the publication of his book in English - with new chapters updating the state of the Abraham Accords under the Biden administration, Ravid offers a look behind the scenes of his two lengthy interviews with Trump and how eager he was to express his unhappiness with Netanyahu's behavior. When Trump used the F-word, "It was at the end of a 20-minute monologue about all the bad things he thought about Netanyahu," Ravid shared, saying the interview revealed to him that the Trump-Netanyahu bromance "was like watching a show for four years. And then you realize that everything you saw was just BS, because the reality between those two was completely different." Also on this week's podcast, Haaretz English Editor in Chief Esther Solomon and correspondent Simon Waldman in Istanbul assess the political situation in Turkey after the election results leading to a second-round face-off for the presidency between incumbent Tayyip Erdogan and opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu.

Chefe de Estado desde 2003 (quando a função ainda era desempenhada pelo primeiro-ministro), Recep Tayyip Erdogan saiu na frente na votação do domingo (14): com 49,51% dos votos válidos e maioria no Parlamento. Então favorito nas pesquisas e líder da coalização de seis partidos de oposição, Kemal Kilicdaroglu obteve 44,8% dos votos. Para analisar os rumos da democracia turca, e como ela reverbera na geopolítica global e no avanço da extrema-direita pelo mundo, Natuza Nery entrevista o economista Maurício Moura, sócio do fundo Zaftra e professor da Universidade George Washington, e Marina Slhessarenko Barreto, pesquisadora do Centro de Análise da Liberdade e do Autoritarismo e uma das autoras do livro “O caminho da autocracia: estratégias atuais de erosão democrática”. Neste episódio: - Depois de passar 10 dias na Turquia, Maurício relata o clima de “engajamento, polarização e tensão” em cidades pequenas e médias e em metrópoles como Istambul e Ancara. Lá, ele visitou comícios da situação e da oposição, onde foi detido por policiais: “Dá uma noção do clima tenso que envolve política na Turquia”; - O economista explica como a inflação galopante, que já superou os 80% ao mês, age como “principal cabo eleitoral da oposição” nesta eleição, em contraponto ao “domínio da máquina pública” pelo grupo político de Erdogan. E embora Kilicdaroglu tenha também o apoio majoritário dos empresários, ele aposta na vitória do atual presidente; - Marina avalia a “força persistente” de Erdogan, que elegeu maioria no Parlamento turco, e chega ao 2º turno com mais de 2,6 milhões de votos de vantagem. Ela conta como ele conseguiu superar uma tentativa de golpe de Estado e “transformar a Turquia de parlamentarista em presidencialista” para se manter no poder; - A pesquisadora comenta os movimentos de “experimentação e exportação transnacional” de tecnologia política entre a rede de países alinhados à extrema-direita global – caso de Turquia, Hungria, EUA (sob governo Trump) e Brasil (sob Bolsonaro). E destaca o aparelhamento da educação, do espaço cívico e da segurança pública como ferramentas de “autocratização”.

Contados mais de 97% das urnas abertas, o presidente Recep Tayyip Erdogan e o opositor Kemal Kilicdaroglu deverão se enfrentar no segundo turno das eleições na Turquia, em 28 de maio.  O atual presidente contabiliza 49,36% dos votos, enquanto seu principal adversário aparece com 44,96%, segundo dados da agência de notícias estatal Anadolu. A oposição contesta os números da agência estatal, controlada por Erdogan, e diz liderar a apuração. A agência privada Anka dá números ligeiramente diferentes. Essa já pode ser considerada a eleição mais acirrada do país em 20 anos, período em que o presidente esteve à frente do poder.

Turkey is heading  for a run-off vote after President Tayyip Erdogan led over his opposition rival Kemal Kilicdaroglu in Sunday's election but fell short of an outright majority to extend his 20-year rule of the NATO-member country. Neither Erdogan nor Kilicdaroglu cleared the 50% threshold needed to avoid a second round, to be held on May 28, in an election seen as a verdict on Erdogan's increasingly authoritarian path. KAN's Mark Weiss asked Dr Gabi Mitchell, a Policy Fellow at the Mitvim Institute, if Erdogan was the big winner from Sunday's vote.(Photo:Reuters)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A final rally for a nail-biting finish in Istanbul, back where he started out as mayor. Turkey's leader of two decades is trailing in the polls, but within the margin of error. Recep Tayep Erdogan is facing high inflation, the anger surrounding February's devastating earthquakes, and an opposition that has coalesced. His opponent, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, was boosted by the eleventh-hour withdrawal of 2018 runner-up Muharrem Ince, who ran as a third-party candidate, and who threw in the towel on Thursday.

Koketovanie s Ruskom, útočenie na Západ a menšiny či strašenie teroristami. Kampaň pred nedeľnými voľbami v Turecku je v plnom prúde a dlhoročný líder Recep Tayyip Erdogan sa snaží prekričať zlú sociálnu situáciu v krajine či nezvládnutú pomoc pri ničivom zemetrasení populistickou až nenávistnou rétorikou.

For the first time in his 20 years in power Erdogan is facing serious pressure - and the choice voters make in this month's presidential election could define Turkey's destiny for decades. The impact of February's devastating earthquake in Turkey is one of the key factors determining how voters will decide on their next president. The Turkish economy is also under pressure with inflation running at 55%. Against that background, a coalition of opposition parties, The Table of Six, are supporting a single candidate, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, against President Erdogan.

Turkey's longtime leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan is facing what many describe as his toughest election yet. On Sunday, May 14th polls will open for presidential and parliamentary elections, and amid a dire economic crisis in the country, his prospects are in doubt. His leading rival, Kemal Kilicdaroglu is a mild-mannered and bookish elderly lawmaker who is presenting himself as a man of the people, and the polar opposite to the incumbent. Unlike Erdogan - the poster boy for populist politics - who has shunned closer ties with the European Union and the West and courted Vladimir Putin, Kilicdaroglu could lead Turkey in a different direction. As one of the mightiest armies in NATO, straddling Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, Turkey is a strategically important nation, and how the country votes could have implications for us all.

Despite being a NATO member, Turkey has stayed neutral in the war in Ukraine and continues to block Sweden's accession to the alliance. Yet, Turkey's president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, is better known domestically for his economic mismanagement and shoddy response to the earthquake that killed 60,000 people in February than his government's increasingly aggressive international strategy. Presidential and parliamentary elections on 14 May could even raise the prospect of a Turkey without Erdogan. In this episode, Mark Leonard welcomes ECFR's research director Jeremy Shapiro and associate senior policy fellow Asli Aydintasbas who have just published a commentary on how the West should prepare for the Turkish elections.

Some observers envision a quick reversal of Erdogan's anti-Western approach, while others warn that we might see a striking degree of continuity. A look at the opposition's record and platform suggests something in between given its stated goals of improving relations with the West while simultaneously continuing to pursue a more independent foreign policy.
