    Wow I see the Shogunate is still alive and well. Sounds like it’s still feudalism over there… And all the kids love Japan and want to live there… Propaganda is a hell of a drug!

      Perhaps it’s bad to judge an entire country on a single, fairly minor shitty law.

          Not all, but definitely some, yes. And no, I don’t agree with it or like it.

            I think that combines another issue here (or two, one being cultural rather than legal, but that’s a whole other can o’ worms). Papers will report on certain things, but I don’t know where the line in. Some tabloids will report all kinds of shit and eat the cost of any judgement if it happens.

        I would not call anything about a law designed solely to prosecute whistleblowers “fairly minor”

          That’s not actually what it’s designed to do and whistle-blowing has a process that isn’t “run directly to the press”.
