I'm curious about online privacy in Japan because I wanna live there

Anonymous596: > With the recent age verification laws and more invasive tracking by banning the use of anonymous VPN, etc. At least in Japan, there aren’t any laws that stop you from using privacy-respecting tools or operating systems, and there aren’t any laws being discussed right now that would stop you either. Age verification is a topic that’s being looked at really closely at the moment by the Japan government and relevant experts. But they have only just started talking about what the best way to do it should be. It’ll probably take a while before the specific laws are written, but if what happened in other countries works out well, it’s likely Japan will do something similar and think about having laws about age verification. From what I’ve heard at the expert meetings, the idea of introducing an age verification system using electronic signatures on government-issued IDs isn’t being turned down. In fact, it’s pretty much being welcomed. They’re mainly concerned about age groups that should be subject to restrictions and how much academic evidence there is to support the implementation of such restrictions.
