NOTE23

We renewed the website of our company in the remote age in April. We also developing internet business. Aiming at business expansion, we also arrange English edition and are beginning to work from September. It is not active yet now. It is planned to do step by step from long-term viewpoint.
First of all, we have to make overseas people recognize existence of Denkei-Shimbun(ICT economic news) so that we started Facebook and have distributed the English article. However, I have anxiety with the regulation by SNS.

When it is going to distribute the article of the September 26 issue, Facebook has stopped. It is the article which surmised the relation between the cyber attack from Russia which continues Ukraine invasion and communication failures in Japan.
Probably, the supervision AI of SNS reacted to the word “Russia””Ukraine”and “cyber attack.” It is clear not to scrutinize the contents of an article exactly.

Although it was a guess article, I collected materials from the persons concerned. I was not writing by prank. It is very regrettable that distribution was refused.
SNS in recent years is overflowing with fake news and I see SNS providers become careful.

However, the cause of fake news has a possibility that SNS provider’s arbitrary and vague regulation is promoting.
In the space where the freedom of expression is restricted, healthy relationship does not deepen and does not contribute to democracy, either. SNS will be no longer a purpose like a signboard at most.
