誹謗中傷の投稿で相談3989件　24年度、被害者は泣き寝入り|47NEWS（よんななニュース）

This page reports on internet defamation complaints submitted to Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. The "Illegal and Harmful Information Consultation Center" received 3,989 defamation-related complaints in fiscal 2024, setting a record high. Despite the Information Distribution Platform Countermeasures Act taking effect in April 2025, which obligates SNS operators to respond appropriately to abusive posts, victims continue to suffer in silence. Top concerns among complainants are post deletion and identifying perpetrators, with the latter increasing dramatically from 190 cases in 2015 to 1,571 in 2024. Key challenges include ensuring law effectiveness while respecting freedom of expression and raising awareness about deletion procedures.
