Lord, I hope we don't have a lot of people on the water cooler from Japan, they may be in trouble.

This is the result of Hana Kimura killing herself after she was bullied.

Japan has made online insults punishable by up to a year in prison in an effort to reduce cyberbullying after the death of a reality television star who had faced a wave of online abuse.

Previously, the maximum penalty for the crime of “insultation” was less than 30 days’ detention or a fine of less than 10,000 yen ($75). The amendment to Japan’s penal code, which lawmakers passed Monday and is set to take effect this summer, introduces the prison term and increases the maximum fine to 300,000 yen. The statute of limitations on prosecution was also increased to three years from one.

Clearly, she was too stupid to live if she couldn't turn off a PC.

Good. Every country should do this, if only it wouldn't cost taxpayers so much. But the phenomenon of trolling and bullying behind a screen needs to DIE.

Unfortunately, the technology we have had for 25 years or so created all of this. Anyone born after 1990 or so is going to be highly susceptible to it. It's only getting worse. Can't really blame anyone who's under 30 for being stupid, it's kind of all they know. And they are just different mentally at a young age. They think life is much longer than it is.. everything is the end of the world.

It also makes it very easy for people to get their jollies in this manner... trolling/bullying from behind a screen is way too easy.

I honestly support this for extreme cases. If someone just goes around harassing and bullying people online, they need to be held accountable for it.

If you can't handle mean words, stay off the fucking Internet.

Look at the bitch - she had money, fame, health...Jesus wept - cry me a fucking river.

I had hoped with Japan copycatting everything else we (the US) does in a weird way would bolster their freedom of speech values, but it's clear they've gone down the wokehole.

Fuck 'em. And if you agree with this shit, fuck you. What are you gonna do, cry on me? Seriously. Fuck. You.
