This is disturbing. I often click “like” just to mark a tweet so I can go back to it later. Pressing a button means nothing.
I would comment on this ruling but I don’t want to be fined.
This ruling was from the High Court on an appeal after the ruling by the District Court, so I would expect to see this appealed to the Supreme Court.
> The Tokyo District Court had ruled in March that liking a defamatory post could not be considered illegal as the act does not necessarily constitute approval since it could also be for bookmarking and reminder purposes.
So basically he liked tweets that implied that her rape was in fact a way to advance her career.
He drugged her, right ?
How is that supposed to make her advance her career ?
A rapist who doesn’t believe he is responsible for anything but drugs his victims then shifts the blame.
Life is still good for rapists in Japan 2022.
