Translation

Regarding the death of female professional wrestler Hana Kimura (22), who received defamation on social media (SNS), the government announced May 26 its plan to begin full-scale efforts on discussions of systemic reforms to make simpler identification of those who post malicious [content] on the internet. Currently, if a lawsuit is not brought forward then there are many times when information is not disclosed, but measures toward speedier disclosure of information are being explored, names in addition to phone numbers are among the subjects under consideration of being disclosed. However, there are concerns that such measure infringe on people¡¯s ¡°freedom of expression¡± and ¡°secrecy of communication¡± [privacy].

At a news conference after a Cabinet meeting on the 26th, communications minister Sanae Takaichi said the government will consider revising the system to curb online abuse. It plans to compile draft legislation by the end of this year.
