Google has deleted more than 170 videos posted on YouTube, which it operates, that show the place names and scenery of the discriminated Buraku communities, saying that they violate guidelines to protect users from hate speech.
What was deleted from YouTube was a video posted by an account calling itself the "Kanagawa Prefectural Human Rights Enlightenment Center" that included the place names and landscapes of the discriminated Buraku communities. It means going up.
"ABDARC", a group made up of people working to eliminate Buraku discrimination, asked Google, which operates YouTube, to delete it.
Google said it removed the video because it "violated guidelines to protect users from hate speech."
Regarding the deletion of the video, the man said, "I'm not convinced. I'm thinking about posting it on my own site in the future."
On the other hand, Taiji Kawaguchi, a member of "ABDARC", said, "I think it's the result of the efforts of many people over the years. However, there are similar videos on the Internet, so I would like to continue working on it. "I'm talking.
The publisher, represented by the man who posted the video, plans to publish a book that summarizes the place names of discriminated Buraku across the country, and in September last year, the Tokyo District Court decided not to publish the place names in books or on the web. I had issued a judgment to order etc.
