Google Kenya has said it would not remove a music video from its YouTube site. The Kenyan government asked Google to take the video offline because it showed gay couples, gay pride marchers, and images of openly gay Kenyan public figures. The video also shows different scenes of what it is like to be gay in Kenya. It was made by a band called Art Attack. It is a remake of the song 'Same Love' by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. Kenya's government said the video was bad for society. It said it would punish anyone it caught who distributed the video. Kenya's government says homosexuality is an "unnatural offence". Kenyan homosexuals can be put in prison for up to 14 years.

肯尼亞谷歌表示，不會(huì)刪除YouTube音樂視頻。因MV中包含同性戀，“同志驕傲”宣傳，以及公開”出柜”的肯尼亞名人，肯尼亞政府要求谷歌刪除視頻。MV中還涉及同性畫面。音樂來(lái)自“Art Attack”樂隊(duì)。翻唱自馬克勒莫&瑞恩·路易斯的《Same love》。據(jù)肯尼亞政府表示，MV敗壞社會(huì)風(fēng)氣。并稱將嚴(yán)懲上傳者。還稱同性戀為“反常態(tài)犯罪”。在肯尼亞，同性戀刑期達(dá)14年。

Kenya's attempts at trying to ban the video have made it very popular around the world. It has now been viewed over 140,000 times. The video shows images of anti-gay protests in Nairobi last year, and two young women kissing on a bench in a forest. Kenyan regulators first tried to ban the video in late February. A government spokesman said: "We have written to Google to remove the video from their platforms. We expect they will do it within one week from now." Google replied: "We review government removal requests when notified through the correct legal processes and in keeping with our company philosophy on transparency and freedom of expression."

肯尼亞之舉引發(fā)全球熱議。視頻點(diǎn)擊量超14萬(wàn)。在視頻中，去年內(nèi)羅畢“反同”游行歷歷在目，兩名女同在森林長(zhǎng)椅中熱吻。2月末，肯尼亞官方首次嘗試刪除。政府發(fā)言人表示：“政府已向谷歌發(fā)出書名要求，刪除視頻。并希望在一周內(nèi)得到解決。”谷歌回應(yīng)稱：“政府以通過(guò)正規(guī)法律渠道提出請(qǐng)求，但對(duì)于谷歌公司，我們的原則是堅(jiān)持透明公開，維護(hù)言論自由。
