I’m starting to understand why Japanese defamation law is so weird.
“the act of unlawfully lowering the societal evaluation, such as the credibility or reputation, of a specific person to an unspecified or broad audience.”
It doesn’t matter if what was conveyed about the “injured” party was true, only that it harmed their reputation.
Can’t wait for our current government to follow suit.
