Google Kenya said it would not remove a music video from YouTube. Kenya asked Google to take the video off because it showed gay couples and pictures of gay Kenyan public people. The video also shows what it is like to be gay in Kenya. It was made by a band called Art Attack. It is made from the song Same Love . Kenya’s government said the video was bad for society. It will punish anyone who puts the video on the Internet. Kenya’s government says gay couples are not right. Kenyan gay couples can be put in prison for up to 14 years.
肯尼亚谷歌公司表示,不会删除其在YouTube音乐视频。肯尼亚政府之所以要求谷歌删除视频,是因为视频中包含同性恋和一些公开“出柜”的肯尼亚公众人物。视频中还涉及同性画面。该音乐视频依据歌曲《Same love》改编,来自“Art Attack”乐队。据肯尼亚政府表示该视频败坏社会风气,并称将严惩上传者。肯尼亚政府严重抵制同性恋。在肯尼亚,同性恋刑期高达14年。
Kenya tries to ban the video on the Internet. This made it very popular. It has been watched over 140,000 times. The video shows some pictures in Nairobi( 肯尼亚首都内罗毕 ), and two women in the video are kissing on a chair near a forest. Kenya first tried to ban the video in February. A government spokesman said, “We have written to Google to remove the video from YouTube .We hope they will do it in one week.” Google replied, “We read the government’s requests, but we will keep with our company rules on…freedom of expression.”
肯尼亚政府试图删除视频之举引发全球热议。此举也使得该视频点击量超14万。该视频展示了去年内罗毕有关同性恋的一些画面以及两名女同在森林长椅中接吻的镜头。2月末,肯尼亚官方首次尝试删除该视频。政府发言人表 示:“政府已向谷歌发出书面要求删除视频。并希望在一周内得到解决。”谷歌公司则回应称:“我们收到了政府的诉求,但是我们坚持公司一贯坚持的言论自由原则。”
