Bushiroad stated that because the statements are carried out on social media, the company is seeking out the identities of individuals by requesting the disclosure of the sender's information. They are then proceeding by filing civil lawsuits and criminal complaints against the relevant individuals.


Doesn't this only work in cases and countries where you are required to supply your ID prior to using the internet? I can't see how they're going to crack down on someone who goes by a different name and is using public WiFi to post.

You'd be surprised at what is actually provided to ISP and other services when you get online--even if you are trying to be anonymous.

The average person isn't going to be spotless and there will be a trail.

Japan has low bar for slander laws so I'm not surprised.
