総務省は23日、ネット上の偽・誤情報による選挙への悪影響を軽減するためにSNS事業者が取る措置をまとめた指針案を発表した。推奨する措置として、選挙の公正を害する投稿の収益化停止や、人工知能(AI)で生成された画像・動画の検知、警告表示などを例示した。来年4月の統一地方選に適用できるよう、早ければ年内に正式決定する。

指針案は7月に成立した改正公職選挙法と改正情報流通プラットフォーム対処法を受けたもの。選挙期間中のSNS利用を巡っては、閲覧数や再生回数に応じて「収益」を得られる仕組みが、過激な内容や偽・誤情報の拡散につながったとの指摘がある。指針案は、収益化を行っている投稿者の明示や、収益化の審査厳格化も提起した。

改正公選法では、AI画像や動画にAIを利用した旨の表示が義務付けられた。指針案では、投稿者がこれに違反して表示を怠った場合でも、事業者側が画像を検知して警告表示するなどの対応を挙げた。

情報を拡散しSNS利用者の投票行動をゆがめる行為への対応も例示。多数の端末やプログラムを用いた不正な大量発信を検知し、関係するアカウントの停止、投稿の削除などを盛り込んだ。

情報の信頼性向上の観点から、発信者の国や地域といった所在地の明示も求めた。政党や候補者本人による発信を優先表示することも促した。

指針はグーグル、X(旧ツイッター)、LINEヤフーなど大規模なSNS事業者13社が対象。表現の自由に配慮し、実際の対応は事業者に委ね、罰則も設けない。

Male lineage adoptions from former imperial families now possible; female members of the imperial family retain their status even after marriage - Revised Imperial House Law enacted

The revised Imperial House Law went into effect on the 24th, making it possible for female members of the imperial family to maintain their status after marriage and to adopt male descendants of former imperial families. Although it was introduced as a measure to combat the decline in the number of members of the imperial family, many issues remain, including the status of husbands and children, the selection of candidates for adoption, and fundamental discussions about succession to the imperial throne.
