With the recent age verification laws and more invasive tracking by banning the use of anonymous VPN, etc. I’m interested into about living in Japan, and one thing bother me a lots is their “privacy laws”.

For now, it’s fine, but I’m just really worried about the future change, cause it takes years to learn Japanese and migrate to, but if it could change for the worse, then I don’t know what’s the point to trying. I’m not a journalist or something that require extreme anonymity. I do only need to live in a country that respects my privacy. I’m willing to accept having their national ID or register to the SIM card, but at minimal. For most of the time, I’ll keep using my privacy respecting tools and operating system, like GrapheneOS, E2EE providers.

I wanna here more about your opinion. You can ask me more if you wanna know something specific.
