The so-called "youth net regulation law" is established, what kind of influence can be considered in the future?

Today, it was considered as a problem before "Youth net regulation law"(Act on maintenance of environment where young people can use the Internet safely and securely) Was established. By doing this, filtering is obliged to be provided for all mobile phones and PHS.

What information is likely to be harmful information? And what is the effect of this regulation on non-youth people?

Details are as below.

Harmful information is roughly divided into the following three.

(I) Information that directly and explicitly undertakes, mediates or attracts acts committed by criminal or punitive acts, or directly and explicitly induces suicide

Information that excites or stimulates libido or sexual acts or obscene depictions of genital or other other markedly sexual desires

Three murders, executions, cruel depiction of situations such as abuse, and other remarkably cruel content information

in short,"Information that triggers suicide and homicide"Obscene information"Cruel information"Will be the genre of harmful information, and for details the"Filtering promotion agency"Will be decided.

Details of this filtering promotion agency have not been decided yet, but probably it will be easily assumed that the officials will be downstairs, so we need to pay close attention to future trends. Since this filtering promotion agency and others can register in the country, it does not mean that the country's involvement has disappeared. Rather, because it is stipulated that it is possible to receive support from the country etc. by registering, it is expected that more agencies will actively register.

Also,"Youth Harmful Information Filtering SoftwareOr "Youth Harmful Information Filtering Service"Each provider is obliged to provide," equipment having the ability to connect with the Internet "that young people may use, install this filtering software from the beginning or incorporate filtering service easily It is stipulated that it must be sold after conducting a method that can be used. Although it is unknown what happens in the case of a personal computer etc., in the future it will be possible for law revisions such as Windows, Mac OS, Linux etc. to incorporate the filtering function from the beginning and keep it on.

Furthermore, efforts obligation is imposed on companies and services developing this filtering software so that it can be "set finely according to the developmental stage of young people and user's choice", "We strive to improve its performance and convenience It must be. " It seems to be a considerable burden, but what if the performance is insufficient than that, what will it be ... ... the possibility that the filtering software company itself can be sued also in the future You ought to think that you get it, as neglecting your duty to strive. It is also expected that some cases will be appealed as regulating things that are not harmful information.

And, it is probably applied to every net service such as blog, bulletin board, etc. item "the obligation of specific server administrator's efforts in the case of transmission of harmful information on youth" item.

When a specific server administrator knows that another person sends out harmful information on adolescents using the specific server managed by the specific server administrator or when intending to send out harmful information on adolescents by himself / herself, regarding the youth harmful information , We must endeavor to take measures to prevent young people from browsing by using the Internet (hereinafter referred to as "measures to prevent youth reading").

A specific server administrator must endeavor to develop a system for accepting contacts from citizens on harmful information on adolescents who originated using the specific server managed by the server administrator.

When a specific server administrator has taken measures to prevent young people from browsing, it shall endeavor to prepare records concerning such youth access prevention measures and to preserve them.

Perhaps considering the past case, it is highly likely that this will be applied even in the case of borrowing and managing some net service on an individual (writing a blog, operating a bulletin board, etc.), and it is prescribed as follows I will.

In this Act, "Specific Server Administrator" means a server (hereinafter referred to as "Specific Server") that is used for browsing information by the public using the Internet, It is a person who provides the service that puts it in a state where it can be used by the public for viewing and view it.

In this Act "outgoing" means to input information to a specific server so that it can be browsed by the public using the Internet.

In other words, it seems likely that someone who writes a blog may perfectly agree with the "specific server administrator". Because, "Provider liability limit methodEven in the case of administrators of sites that many unspecified persons can write, such as corporations and individuals, such as blog openers and bulletin board managers, it is subject to trial and others. Even if you write "provider" "specific server administrator", the person who thought as "user of service" as contents is correct as real feeling. For everyone who sends information on the net, this law is relevant.

Since the actual enforcement will take place within one year and the law will be revised within 3 years, even if there are no penalties now, even more stringent regulations will be done in three years I think that it is probably good to think that it is almost certain.

Although it is obvious if you read up to this point, it is not only young people such as juveniles that this law concerns, it is a so-called "adult"If information deemed inappropriate and harmful for underage is deleted, adults also can not access those deleted informationThat's why.
