Tokyo Metropolitan Election Needs to Delete Political Radio on YouTube, What is the Problem?



Although it is reported in various places,Tokyo Metropolitan Election CommissionI am requesting to delete from the end of the police broadcasting video uploaded to YouTube, and it is said that it has already applied for deletion concerning 43 video that is applicable at this time.

As reasons, political broadcasting is determined to be five times per candidate, and it seems that it is problematic that only images of specific candidates can be viewed freely.

If that is the case, I think the Tokyo Metropolitan Election Commission should set up a site where political broadcasts can be viewed via the Internet at any time on their own, but Japanese legislation, It shows clearly that you can not catch up with it.

Incidentally, in the case of the United States, the situation is different from Japan, candidates for the next presidential election in the United States will communicate policies through YouTubeYou Choose'08"Is being carried out.

Let's look at various things below, what is the problem with this case.
First of all, it is this series of movies that are considered to be subject to deletion.

Regarding this case, it is reported on various news news websites, including newsletters.

According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Election Administration Committee, it seems that it was unexpected that political broadcasts will be posted on the video sharing website, but from the actual results that several past interesting political broadcasts were uploaded, this is enough assumption It is supposed to be ... ....

What I can not understand is that although political broadcasting is strictly controlled, on the other hand, it is not regulated that other candidates who looked at the foam candidate will appear on TV programs frequently. What is going on around here ...? According to one theory it is said that arrangements such as "Do not handle foam candidates, ignore them" existed in the past among various news organizations ... ... How is it?

Also, if the broadcasting time of the political broadcasting itself is limited in the night such as in the case of Japan, it is also not the time like the golden time, it is supposed to be the cause that leads to the case like this time. It seems that it is very inefficient to prevent political equality from being seen only at the time when the political opinion broadcasting the opinion on the political opinion of the candidate is seen, and distributed all members in cooperation with YouTube etc. Would it be beneficial for voters who vote? Unlike a loud consultation with a name like a door-to-door visit or a street car, you should go to see it with your own will, so there should be no direct inconvenience to the voters ....

Indeed, as I wrote in the first one, I'm arguing on YouTube in the initiative in the case of a candidate for the next presidential election in America.

You Choose'08

A channel is prepared for each candidate, and the candidate's campaign video, speech, behind-the-scenes behind the election are introduced. Comments and scoring are available for each video.

Also, as mentioned in the following article, it seems that things like crying out with explosive voices and inserting leaflets from an advertising car that is an existing election method are gradually becoming invalidated. In the future such conditions will further accelerate and you will have to admit the election campaign on the net. There is a possibility that frequent occurrence of self-made performances by saying spam mail or a word of mouth may be frequented, but such a thing should definitely be defined by law and regulated properly.

If you read the summary of each parliament, you can understand the general situation. Political broadcasting is also touched in the 10th.

· The political broadcast seems to be ineffective rather than using a lot of money. In the future, it seems necessary to consider the way of political broadcasting in relation to the fact that candidates can utilize HP as an election campaign.

In other words, it is clear in this case that in Japan now, there is a problem in the law itself that restricts the way to inform candidate's claim. Elections have long been said to be three of "grounds, signboards, bags" (supporting mothers and associates, patrons, famous people, money), so that old politicians wanting such old-fashioned election situation will not be disadvantaged If it keeps conservative without changing anything in order to maintain the vested interest, it will have an absolute collapse somewhere, but that has now come to be done.

There are no such noisy election campaign like this in other countries. The following pages are detailed.
