In Japan, we have to be careful because a company could sue for reputational damage (even if the claims are 100% true and provable). Same for some other examples like posting a pic of someone with his mistress or basically anything with their face.
Wow I see the Shogunate is still alive and well. Sounds like it’s still feudalism over there… And all the kids love Japan and want to live there… Propaganda is a hell of a drug!
Perhaps it’s bad to judge an entire country on a single, fairly minor shitty law.
I would not call anything about a law designed solely to prosecute whistleblowers “fairly minor”
That’s not actually what it’s designed to do and whistle-blowing has a process that isn’t “run directly to the press”.
A fairly minor and shitty law that influences all public speech about other people
Not all, but definitely some, yes. And no, I don’t agree with it or like it.
Yeah, Japanese the press also is pretty beholden to government whims as well.
I think that combines another issue here (or two, one being cultural rather than legal, but that’s a whole other can o’ worms). Papers will report on certain things, but I don’t know where the line in. Some tabloids will report all kinds of shit and eat the cost of any judgement if it happens.
