Similar legislation is also being considered in South Korea after a K-pop singer committed suicide last year.
Takaichi said the government intends to revise an existing law “with a sense of speed,” to simplify procedures to identify individuals who make defamatory posts online, aiming for draft legislation by the end of the year, Kyodo reported.
Similar efforts began in South Korea last year after two young K-pop singers, Goo Hara and Sulli, committed suicide in short succession. A week after her death in October, South Korean lawmaker Park Dae-chul called the incident “murder by fingers” on a keyboard.“As in Sulli's case, people are exposed to attacks, and they can no longer be left out in the cold,” another lawmaker Park Sun-sook told parliament.
