Hopefully they will not resume the terrifying prospect in the future. That said, if they do resume examining ways to regulate the web, I hope to be an elected member of parliament by then. :wink: For the moment, the Japanese government has temporarily given up on policing the internet.

This particular issue seems to have lost steam within the Japanese government as they're currently having a hard enough time passing budgets and getting people assigned to the Bank of Japan. There's just way too much in-fighting between the Upper and Lower House, which means that almost all legislation has been put on hold. This doesn't mean that the bill will be scrapped, of course. But it does buy citizens at least another year of reprieve before this law is seriously looked at by the powers that be. Hopefully by the time it reaches the diet, someone with half a clue about the internet will be in a position to block or outright reject any attempt to regulate its content :???: Thanks, Cory.
