No to "twitter"?

Now Japanese government is talking about the amendment bill of the election. In Japan, candidates couldn't update their web pages, blogs, twitter and other internet services during the election campaign. I don't think this law is not fit with the times, and need to modify it. And they are finally talking about that.

I don't know exactly, but many media are broadcasting that the amendment bill will become effective soon, and candidates will be able to use the internet during the election campaign from this summer. I felt it's good news because candidates can talk their opinion easily and quickly on the internet. But we should care that some of the candidates might not good at using computers and mobile phones... And we should check web sites both right-leaning and left-leaning. We should choose it.

Anyway, I have one big question about this amendment bill. Why did they decide to request candidates not to use Twitter and mail magazine during the campaign. Yeah, according to the amendment bill, they can use Twitter during the campaign, but they should not use it during the campaign. According to some new sources, they decided to request it because twitter is easy to spoofing...

I think, there are many many ways to prevent spoofing on twitter. But they....

How do you think about that?

Thank you.
Good day & Peace and Smile!
