“Should we bring a national messenger app?” … Have Japanese right-wing forces entered the fray?

Takaichi Calls for Economic Security Minister,
,
, ‘”◆ Line Yahoo Incident Enters Endgame ◆”‘,
,
, ‘In relation to the Line Yahoo incident, Japanese media outlets are collectively reporting in support of the administrative guidance measures taken by the Japanese government, attributing the issue to Naver’s lackadaisical attitude towards the incident awareness. Earlier, the Japanese government issued administrative guidance to Line Yahoo twice regarding the leakage of personal information, which is highly unusual, arguing that it was due to their failure to submit a proper improvement plan.’,
,
, ‘On the 9th, Asahi Shimbun reported that the sloppy content of the report submitted by Line Yahoo to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications in March, following the first administrative guidance, angered officials at the ministry. The report claimed that it would take “over 2 years” for Line Yahoo and Naver networks to be completely separated, and it was also revealed that there were no specific details regarding safety management and improvements. Ministry officials explained that they issued a second administrative guidance in April due to their belief that “Naver was too nonchalant towards the incident.”‘,
,
, ‘Analysis suggests that members of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party in Japan, considering Line Yahoo as essential infrastructure in Japanese society used by 96 million people, have been at the forefront demanding strict measures from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications.’,
,
, ‘Given the importance of economic security, it is argued that the reins should be held by Japan in terms of the scalpel. For this to happen, the logic is that Japan should become the major shareholder rather than maintaining the current joint major shareholder system with South Korea.’,
,
, ‘A prominent figure advocating this stance is the ultra-right politician known as “Female Abe,” Takaichi Sanae, the Minister in charge of Economic Security. In a recent interview with Shukan Bunshun, Takaichi stated, “I do not use Line. From the perspective of ensuring economic security, Line Yahoo needs a fundamental reevaluation and strengthening of security, including a reexamination of the capital control relationship.” [Tokyo correspondent Lee Seung-hoon]’,
