候補者のスピーチYOUTUBEに削除要求
選挙委員会は「世界で最も大きい首都の日曜日の選挙の候補者の公平さを確保できないとして、米国のYouTubeのオフィスへ電子メールで要求した。
しかし米国のウェブサイトのオペレータからの応答を受け取らなかった。
日本の選挙の法律は公共の放送会社NHKでだけスピーチの放送を限る。
すぐに競争が先月開始した後、1人のフリンジの候補者、外山恒一氏の36通りの彼の風変りで、対抗的なアプローチのために、YouTubeの魅力になった。
YouTubeはずっと日本の悩みに前に直面している。
Tokyo requests YouTube delete candidates' speeches
TOKYO 05/04/2007 22:37
Tokyo's election commission Thursday asked the popular video sharing website YouTube to take off clips of candidates for the local governor's race, saying it gave some of them unfair advantages
The election commission said it wanted to "ensure fairness" among candidates ahead of Sunday's election in the world's largest metropolis.
"We made the requests via e-mail and fax to the YouTube office in the United States," said commission official Hiroyoshi Yone.
"The site has allowed only certain candidates' speeches to be viewed freely on the site, with which we cannot ensure the fairness of the election," he said.
But the commission has not received any reply from the operator of the US website, he said.
Japanese election law limits the broadcasting of speeches, which are aired only on public broadcaster NHK.
Soon after the race kicked off last month, the speech by one fringe candidate, street musician Koichi Toyama, 36, has become a popular attraction on YouTube due to his eccentric, confrontational approach.
YouTube, which was bought in November by Google, has faced trouble in Japan before.
In February, it agreed to post a copyright infringement warning in Japanese under pressure from media and copyright protection bodies.
This week Thailand's military-installed government banned YouTube entirely after it failed to block a video considered insulting to King Bhumibol Adulyadej, a revered figure in the country.
