But they are STILL partnered and even directly sponsoring Roblox.
The UN Convention against Cybercrime, adopted by the United Nations last December, sparked a major debate in Japan regarding the regulation of expression. Article 14, in particular, was problematic due to concerns that it would expand child pornography (referred to as CSAM in the text) beyond content with real victims to include not only anime and manga, but also fictional works, including audio and text. In fact, many countries opposed this point during the discussions, so Article 14, paragraph 3, now allows for the option to restrict content to "content containing real people." However, many people in Japan remain concerned. I would like to know how global comrades who are fighting against content censorship have viewed this treaty. This content is relevant to all countries that are party to the treaty. I would appreciate your feedback in the comments section.
Most people want the UN shut down. No one likes them.
They have this woman’s group that just sends hate emails to japan.
They dont want women “portrayed negatively”. As in cant show them looking bad or dying in fiction.
They arent serious.
Plus people will call anything “csam” to try to get their way. Kind of like Australia having a boob size of consent. For instance, if i was to film porn in australia, it would be deemed illegal. Not because im not an adult, im 34. But because my breasts are too small.
That is INSANE. Ridiculous laws like that would make me feel unsafe in australia. Why? Because why are they looking at my body to decide what i can and cant do despite being an adult. What next, i cant go to a beach in a bikini?
This is where these types of laws head to.
IMPORTANT BREAKING NEWS
DLsite is now offering a alternative to Payment Processors on their site. This means they no longer need to bend the knee to VISA and Mastercard on censorship
This news comes out after Payment Processors have been censoring adult content not just on Japanese Sites, but Steam and Itch io
Is Anime inherently political? Many anime works are inherently unrelated to politics, but it seems that there are people who try to link even these works to politics.
Even in Japan, there are those who view sexual content in anime and manga as "sexual abuse" and seek to eliminate it. In fact, political movements calling for the application of child pornography standards to creative works and the punishment of such content are presented to the Diet almost every year. There are no victims of this "sexual abuse," nor has there been any evidence that sexual content has a negative impact on society, such as an increase in crime. In an age overflowing with content, it's not difficult to choose not to watch something you don't like. At the same time, the fact that such voices are being raised should not be denied. We must continue to assert that there is nothing wrong with such content. I hope that we can all work together around the world to protect content culture, including anime, manga, and games.
First off its insane how Google straight up admits they were censoring people on YouTube for different viewpoints. Even if it was obvious, its a pretty big deal.
Secondly, I am happy Elon Musk put a spotlight on this.
Sadly nobody at Google or YouTube will get in trouble for the damage they did to so many people.
Shinjiro Koizumi, a candidate in the LDP presidential election that will decide Japan's prime minister, has blocked the reply section of X. Recently, the LDP's PR account sparked controversy by making bold statements, including requesting disclosure of sender information. This shows that they see a strong negative side to the relationship between online speech and politics. In the free flow of online speech, it's impossible to separate out only the aspects that are inconvenient for oneself. If politicians try to enjoy only the good parts, they'll face a backlash.
🇯🇵🚨🚨This is insane. @elonmusk
Japanese government just announced they’re going to start doxxing people for posting things the government doesn’t like—what they think is “misinformation” and “malicious slander.”
They declared war on free speech.
It doesn’t matter if you’re right or wrong, if the government decides it’s “misinformation,” you’re getting doxxed.
For Japanese nationalists and patriots, this is particularly dangerous. Any criticism of immigration policies, globalist agendas, or woke cultural imports will immediately be labeled as “hate speech” or “misinformation.”
During the election, a Diet member declared, "I'm not running for office for the money. I'll return my salary." He was elected, but then retracted his pledge two months later, drawing heavy criticism. While not as extreme as this, many candidates in Japan have pledged to reduce their own salaries during elections in the name of "showing their commitment to reform." I'm wondering, but are there candidates like this in elections overseas as well? I don't necessarily reject all such behavior, but I believe that the amount of work done is more important.
In Japan, the candidates for the LDP presidential election, which will essentially decide the next prime minister, have been announced, and the news is increasingly dominated by them. Current Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, who has announced his resignation, was one of the people who initiated a petition just two years ago to apply the definition of child pornography to creative works (depictions) and punish them. It was fortunate that this petition did not move forward during his term in office. Who becomes the leader will have a major impact on the issue of censorship of content culture in Japan, including manga, anime, and games. I am not a member of the Liberal Democratic Party, so I do not have the right to vote, but I will continue to report on this issue. Voting is scheduled for October 4th.
