1 | Election Laws Hinder Japan's Political Online Activity | Manelingelina Ny Fahazotoana Politika An-tserasera Ny Lalam-Pifidianana |
2 | While Japanese citizens enjoy considerable Internet freedom, in times of election, things are a little different. | Raha mianoka tanteraka ny fahalalahana amin'ny aterineto ny Japoney, dia miova kely izany toe-draharaha izany amin'ny fotoam-pifidianana. |
3 | The country's Public Offices Election Act [ja], restricts political candidates from publishing documents or pictures and forbids ordinary citizens from endorsing political figures - thus in practice the law can extend to blogging, tweeting and even updating Facebook statuses. | Ny Lalam-pifidianam-panjakana ao amin'ny firenena no mandrara ny ny kandidà ara-politika tsy hamoaka tahirin-kevitra na sary sy mandrara ny olo-tsotra hanohana olo-malaza ara-politika - izany hoe raha ampiharina ny lalàna dia mihatra amin'ny famahanam-bilaogy, fisiahana ary hatramin'ny fanavaozana sata ao amin'ny Facebook aza. |
4 | Ameba notice Ameba, one of Japan's most popular blog services wrote an official announcement [ja] reminding Ameba bloggers not to write a blog post or messages that may conflict with the Public Offices Election Act. | Filazan'ny Ameba Namoaka fanambarana ofisialy ny Ameba, iray amin'ny mpanome tolotra bilaogy malaza indrindra ao Japana, tamin'ny fampahatsiahivana amin'ny bilaogera ao aminy tsy hamoaka lahatsoratra na hafatra mety hampisy fifandroritana amin'ny Lalam-pifidianam-panjakana. |
5 | Here's an excerpt from Ameba's guidelines[ja], | Toy izao ny torolalana[ja] notsongaina tao amin'ny Ameba, |
6 | Ameba's Guideline Prohibits | Raràn'ny Torolalan'ny Ameba ny |
7 | (3) [blog post] against social ethics and law ⑤ Pre-election campaigning of the election, an election campaign or an act similar to these is in conflict with the Public Offices Election Act | (3) [lahatsoratra bilaogy] manohitra ny etika sosialy sy ny lalàna ⑤ Fanaovana fanentanana mialoha ny fotoam-pifidianana, fanentanana mandritra ny ffifidianana na fanao mitovitovy amin'izany ka mampisy fifandroritana amin'ny Lalàm-pifidianam-panjakana |
8 | According to the post, examples of prohibitions include: | Araka ny voalazan'ny lahatsoratra, voarara ohatra ny: |
9 | It is not Ameba's guidelines but rather the law of the land itself that prohibits these actions. | Tsy ny torolalan'ny Ameba fa ny lalàn'ny tany mihitsy no mandrara ny fanaovana ireo zavatra ireo. |
10 | Ameba users commented on the post [ja]: | Maneho ny heviny amin'ilay lahatsoratra [ja] ny mpisera ny Ameba: |
11 | People get nervous during election seasons. | Lasa be ahiahy ny olona mandritra ny fifidianana. |
12 | If you praise a particular party or a candidate, it could be interpreted as promoting a vote for that party/candidate. | Raha midera antoko iray na kandidà iray ianao dia azo adika fa mampifidy izany antoko/kandidà izany. |
13 | On the other hand, if you criticize one, it could be interpreted as a negative campaign that leads to discourage people from voting. | Etsy ankilany, raha mitsikera olona iray, mety holazaina fa fanaratsiana mety mitarika ny fanakiviana ny olona tsy hifidy. Angamba tokony hangina sy hitazatazana isika mandra-pahatapitry ny fifidianana. |
14 | Maybe we should just be quiet and observe how it goes until elections finish. So that means, I should not mention anything about elections on Ameba blog. | Izany hoe ny dikan'izany dia tsy tokony hiteny na inona na inona momba ny fifidianana aho ao amin'ny bilaogy atolotry ny Ameba. |
15 | Certainly good idea so as not to get into trouble later. | Angamba ny hevitra tena mety mba tsy ho sahirana rehefa any aoriana any. |
16 | Political online ads thrive | Miroborobo ny dokambarotra politika |
17 | While candidates and voters are restricted from publishing documents and images on the web, political online ads are thriving, sometimes even in unexpected juxtaposition, like in the screen capture below: | Raha voarara amin'ny famoahana tahirin-kevitra sy sary amin'ny aterineto ny kandidà sy ny mpifidy, miroborobo kosa ny dokambarotra politika, indraindray aza tonga hatramin'ny fifanakaikezana tsy ampoizina tahaka ny pikantsary etsy ambany: |
18 | Image captured from the leader of Japan Restoration Party Toru Hashimoto's Twilog, which shows an ad of rival party DPJ on the right. | Pikantsarin'ny Twilog-n'ny mpitarika ny Antokon'ny Fanavaozana an'i Japana Toru Hashimoto, izay ahitana ny dokambarotry ny antoko mifaninana aminy eo ankavanana. |
19 | Also, you might need to watch an advertisement of Japan Restoration Party [ja] before viewing a video on Youtube. | Tsara ihany koa raha jerena ny dokambarotry ny Antokon'ny Fanavaozana an'i Japana JRP [ja] mialoha ny ijerena lahatsary ao amin'ny Youtube. |
20 | Japan Communist Party's ads appear on Hatena [ja] and on Twitter, and other ads from Liberal Democratic Party and Democratic Party of Japan appear on various blogs and websites through Google's advertising service. | Ny dokambarotry ny Antoko Komonista Japana samy hita ao amin'ny Hatena [ja] sy ao amin'ny Twitter, ary misy doka hafa avy amin'ny Antoko Demokraty Liberaly [LDP] sy ny Antoko Demokratin'i Japana hita any amin'ny bilaogy sy habaka samihafa amin'ny alalan'ny tolotra dokambarotr'i Google. |
21 | [Note: Online political advertisement may show up differently depending on your location, web cache, according to advertisement service provider companies.] | [Fanamarihana: Mety hiseho noho ny toerana misy anao, ny web cache, ary miankina amin'ny dokambarotry ny orinasa mpampiserasera ny dokambarotra.] |
22 | Twitter troubles | Sahotaka ao amin'ny Twitter |
23 | While many political candidates refrain from posting updates on Facebook and Twitter to avoid violating the law, some politicians continue to use Twitter. | Raha mihataka tsy mamoaka votoaty ao amin'ny Facebook sy Twitter ny olona isorohana amin'ny fandikan-dalàna, misy kosa ny mpanao politika sasany mbola misera hatrany ny Twitter. |
24 | Tōru Hashimoto, the mayor of Osaka city who heads Japan Restoration Party (he is not a candidate in this General Elections) continues to use Twitter. | Manohy misera Twitter i Tōru Hashimoto, Ben'ny tanànan'i Osaka izay mitarika ny Antokon'ny Fanavaozana an'i Japana (tsy kandidà amin'ny fifidianana ankapobeny izy). |
25 | Criticizing the Public Offices Election Act, he continues to voice his opinion on Twitter. | Nataony ho ren-tany aman-danitra ao amin'ny Twitter ny heviny tamin'ny fitsikerana ny Lalam-pifidianam-panjakana. |
26 | According to Hashimoto's twilog, a service that archives tweets, he tweeted 60 times on December 9, 2012. | Araka ny twilogn'i Hashimoto, tolotra mitahiry ny sioka, in'60 izy no nisioka tamin'ny 9 Desambra 2012. |
27 | Whether his tweet is unlawful or not is up to the police to decide, said Osamu Fujimura, the Chief Cabinet Secretary. | Ny amin'ny hoe mifanaraka amin'ny lalàna ve ny sioka navoakany sa tsia dia anjaran'ny polisy ny manapa-kevitra amin'izay, hoy Osamu Fujimura, Lehiben'ny Sekretariàm-panjakana. |
28 | The law impedes ordinary people as well. | Mihatra amin'ny olo-tsotra ihany koa ny lalàna. |
29 | Some Twitter users warned the following tweet by popular comedian Kenji Tamura, who is not a political candidate, could be against Public Offices Election Act, because it could be considered as promoting a particular party: | Misy ny mpisera Twitter sasany no nanmpitandrina ity siokan'ilay mpiantsehatra malaza Kenji Tamura, izay tsy kandidà, izay mety ho mandika ny Lalam-pifidianam-panjakana ity, satria heverina ho mampiroborobo antoko manokana izy ity: |
30 | Now they are saying LDP is the only party leading the vote?! | Ankehitriny miteny ry zareo fa ny hany antoko mitarika dia ny LDP?! |
31 | They voted for DPJ because LDP failed and now they want to vote for LDP because DPJ failed? | Nifidy DPJ ry zareo satria tsy nahomby ny LDP ary ankehitriny te-hifidy LDP ry zareo satria tsy nahomby ny DPJ? |
32 | That doesn't even make sense. | Tsy misy dikany izany teny izany. |
33 | Grown-ups in this country must be crazy. | Adala mihitsy angamba ny olon-dehiben'ity firenena ity. |
34 | Youngsters, please! | Miangavy ry tanora! |
35 | Let's stand up and vote for the future of our children and future grand-sons and daughters. | Mitsangàna ary fidio ny ho avin'ny zanatsika sy ny zafikelintsika. |
36 | We can not let these crazy adults take over this country. | Tsy avelantsika hifehy ny firenentsika ireo olon-dehibe adala ireo. |
37 | Youth, please vote. | Mifidiàna ry tanora. |
38 | While some users criticized this comment, many have shown support to Kenji Tamura as well. | Raha misy ny mitsikera io fanehoan-kevitra io, maro ihany koa ny naneho fanohanana an'i Kenji Tamura. |
39 | This comment was ReTweeted 3,175 times and 429 users marked it as a favorite tweet. | Io fanehoan-kevitra io izao nahazo Fampitan-tsioka [ReTweet] in-3175 ary mpisera 429 no nanamarika azy ho sioka ankafizina. |
40 | Twitter user juusou13 commented as follows on the news that most candidates had stopped updating their information online: | Naneho hevitra araka izao manaraka izao ny mpisera Twitter juusou13 raha nahita ny vaovao fa tsy namoaka vaovao tamin'ny aterineto [an-tserasera] intsony ny ankamaroan'ny kandidà: |
41 | I think we need to take another look at the Public Offices Election Act. It should be updated for more information transmission as well as to fit with today's reality. | Mieritreritra aho fa mila manana fijery hafa momba ny Lalam-pifidianam-panjakana. Tokony ho ankotrihina hahazoana vaovao bebe kokoa izy io ary tokony hifanaraka amin'ny zavamisy ankehitriny. |
42 | RT@itmedia_news: As election campaign started off in the Lower House, candidates are suddenly silenced online. | RT@itmedia_news: Koa satria moa manomboka ny fampielezan-kevitra eny amin'ny Antenimieram-pirenena, nangina tampoka an-tserasera ny kandidà. |
43 | Nico Nico Douga has started self regulation on censoring comments partially. http://bit.ly/UD1rSR | Nanivana ny fanehoan-keviny tamin'ny ampahany i Nico Nico Douga. http://bit.ly/UD1rSR |
44 | Neuroscientist Kenichi Mogi commented on the irony of being silenced on the web while campaign advertising cars loudly pass by on the street. | Miresaka momba ny fifanoherana hita amin'ny fahanginana ato amin'ny aterineto sy ny tabataban'ny fiara manao dokambarotra eny an'arabe ny mpahay hozatatitra Kenichi Mogi. |
45 | The advertising car of political party has just passed me by. | Vao nandalo akaiky ahy ny fiaran'ny antoko politika teo. |
46 | All I heard was its party name and that's it. | Ny hany reko dia ny anaran'ny antoko dia izay ihany. |
47 | It's unscientific that the use of Internet where people can discuss policies in detail is prohibited for campaign and only these cars are approved of Public Offices Election Act. Is this country in the Stone Age or what. | Tsy ara-tsiantifika ny fiseraserana ny aterineto iadian-kevitra momba ny politika amin'ny antsipirihany nefa raràna ny fanaovana izan mandritra ny fampielezan-kevitra ary ireo fiara ireo ihany no eken'ny Lalam-Pifidianam-Panjakana. Fa miaina amin'ny vanim-potoanan'ny vato ve ity firenena ity sa ahoana e? |
