Article 26Publication of Standards, etc. for Implementation of Transmission Prevention Measures
第二十六条（送信防止措置の実施に関する基準等の公表）
With regard to the dissemination of information through specified telecommunications conducted using the large-scale specified telecommunications service it provides, a large-scale specified telecommunications service provider may take transmission prevention measures only where it complies with the standards that it has itself established and published, other than in a case falling under any of the following items. In this case, those standards must have been published no later than a fixed period specified by Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications before the day on which the transmission prevention measures are taken.
大規模特定電気通信役務提供者は、その提供する大規模特定電気通信役務を利用して行われる特定電気通信による情報の流通については、次の各号のいずれかに該当する場合のほか、自ら定め、公表している基準に従う場合に限り、送信防止措置を講ずることができる。この場合において、当該基準は、当該送信防止措置を講ずる日の総務省令で定める一定の期間前までに公表されていなければならない。
if the large-scale specified telecommunications service provider is the sender of the information for which it intends to take transmission prevention measures;
当該大規模特定電気通信役務提供者が送信防止措置を講じようとする情報の発信者であるとき。
if, in a case where there is an obligation to prevent the transmission of information that unjustly violates the rights of others or any other legal obligation (excluding an obligation to make efforts) to take transmission prevention measures, it takes transmission prevention measures based on that obligation;
他人の権利を不当に侵害する情報の送信を防止する義務がある場合その他送信防止措置を講ずる法令上の義務（努力義務を除く。）がある場合において、当該義務に基づき送信防止措置を講ずるとき。
if it takes transmission prevention measures out of urgent necessity, and the type of information for which it takes the transmission prevention measures is not expressly indicated as a subject of transmission prevention measures in those standards because it is one that cannot ordinarily be foreseen.
緊急の必要により送信防止措置を講ずる場合であって、当該送信防止措置を講ずる情報の種類が、通常予測することができないものであるため、当該基準における送信防止措置の対象として明示されていないとき。
In establishing the standards under the preceding paragraph, a large-scale specified telecommunications service provider must endeavor to ensure that the content of those standards conforms to all of the following items:
大規模特定電気通信役務提供者は、前項の基準を定めるに当たっては、当該基準の内容が次の各号のいずれにも適合したものとなるよう努めなければならない。
the types of information subject to transmission prevention measures are specified as concretely as possible, according to the cause by which the large-scale specified telecommunications service provider came to know of the dissemination of that information;
送信防止措置の対象となる情報の種類が、当該大規模特定電気通信役務提供者が当該情報の流通を知ることとなった原因の別に応じて、できる限り具体的に定められていること。
if there are cases in which service suspension measures may be taken, the standards for the implementation of service suspension measures are specified as concretely as possible;
役務提供停止措置を講ずることがある場合においては、役務提供停止措置の実施に関する基準ができる限り具体的に定められていること。
the standards are written in expressions that can be readily understood by senders and other persons concerned;
発信者その他の関係者が容易に理解することのできる表現を用いて記載されていること。
consideration is given to consistency with laws and regulations that provide for obligations to make efforts concerning the implementation of transmission prevention measures.
送信防止措置の実施に関する努力義務を定める法令との整合性に配慮されていること。
When a large-scale specified telecommunications service provider has taken transmission prevention measures on the ground that it falls under paragraph (1), item (iii), it must promptly amend the standards under that paragraph so that it becomes clear that the type of information for which it took those transmission prevention measures is a subject of transmission prevention measures.
大規模特定電気通信役務提供者は、第一項第三号に該当することを理由に送信防止措置を講じたときは、速やかに、当該送信防止措置を講じた情報の種類が送信防止措置の対象となることが明らかになるよう同項の基準を変更しなければならない。
A large-scale specified telecommunications service provider that has published the standards under paragraph (1) must endeavor to prepare and publish, approximately once a year, materials that organize, by type of information, those cases of information for which transmission prevention measures were taken in accordance with those standards that should serve as a reference for senders and other persons concerned.
第一項の基準を公表している大規模特定電気通信役務提供者は、おおむね一年に一回、当該基準に従って送信防止措置を講じた情報の事例のうち発信者その他の関係者に参考となるべきものを情報の種類ごとに整理した資料を作成し、公表するよう努めなければならない。

第二十七条（発信者に対する通知等の措置）
When a large-scale specified telecommunications service provider has taken transmission prevention measures with regard to the dissemination of information through specified telecommunications conducted using the large-scale specified telecommunications service it provides, it must, except in a case falling under either of the following items, without delay, take measures to notify the sender of the information whose transmission was prevented by those transmission prevention measures of that fact and the reasons therefor, or to place that fact and those reasons in a state in which the sender of that information can readily learn of them (referred to as "notification or similar measures" in item (ii) and in item (iii) of the following Article). In this case, if those transmission prevention measures were taken in accordance with the standards under paragraph (1) of the preceding Article, it must make clear, in those reasons, the relationship between those transmission prevention measures and those standards.
大規模特定電気通信役務提供者は、その提供する大規模特定電気通信役務を利用して行われる特定電気通信による情報の流通について送信防止措置を講じたときは、次の各号のいずれかに該当する場合を除き、遅滞なく、その旨及びその理由を当該送信防止措置により送信を防止された情報の発信者に通知し、又は当該情報の発信者が容易に知り得る状態に置く措置（第二号及び次条第三号において「通知等の措置」という。）を講じなければならない。この場合において、当該送信防止措置が前条第一項の基準に従って講じられたものであるときは、当該理由において、当該送信防止措置と当該基準との関係を明らかにしなければならない。
if the large-scale specified telecommunications service provider is the sender of the information for which it took transmission prevention measures;
当該大規模特定電気通信役務提供者が送信防止措置を講じた情報の発信者であるとき。
