Japan grapples with the ineffective strategies put in place to combat election interference via social media channels. Despite existing measures, there are considerable obstacles that prevent thorough prevention and surveillance. The concern is urgent as it poses severe threats to Japan's democratic processes and raises legitimate questions on data privacy.

Japan's public is deeply concerned about the integrity of their electoral system and the influence of technology on it. Since the legal framework around cyber security and data privacy is still developing, such instances of potential interference receive significant public attention. The underlying social values are fairness in elections, safeguarding democracy, and ensuring legitimate privacy.

In contrast, the United States and EU have relatively advanced legal measures to combat such threats. However, they still face similar issues, highlighting the global dilemma of maintaining integrity in the digital age for electoral processes and the constant need for vigilance.
