Interesting how he tells young Japanese to follow the letter of the law instead of the spirit. I feel as if in American following the letter of the law is the default. There is no voluntary conformity here.
In Japan, 5ch.net (formerly 2ch.net), which Nishimura founded, is considered to be very notorious for discrimination, pornography, fake news, murder threats, etc., just like 4chan.org and 8ch.net. However, Nishimura has been treated favorably by major TV stations and major game companies such as Square Enix, perhaps because he has been a board member of major Japanese Internet companies such as Dwango and LINE, and is currently very popular as a YouTuber. He has also published self-help books with major publishing companies.
It's really awful that Nishimura is now popular and encouraged by major companies and local govs, but I should correct that LINE had never listed on board him.
In the past, Nishimura stored and leaked the credit card information of 2ch.net's paying members in plain text, but took no responsibility and received little criticism for it.
2ch.net payment system was operated by Jim Watkins rather than Nishimura
I think The NY Times caused multiple orders of magnitude more innocent people to die by pushing for the invasion of Iraq than all the massacres caused by all the uncensored forums on the internet combined.
I find it hard to fault a newspaper for pushing an opinion a large majority of it's readers share [1].
Also 9/11 was literally in their backyard. If someone flew a plane into your neighbors house you'd behave pretty irrationally as well

9/11 has very little to do with the Iraq War, and pushing lies to a captivated audience is still detestable.
The people in 4chan brainwashing others into commiting murders are the same responsible for Havana Syndrome.
They have complete electromagnetic surveillance of everyone and use this to harass incels and people without support into lashing out against innocents.
4chan is just one site where this happens and it has nothing to do with who owns it.

Haven't many sites like Facebook also been linked provably to massacres and terrorism? Why don't we treat those sites and their users in same way?
The NYtimes has also been linked to massacres, arguably of greater magnitude.
