Japan is facing an increase in the dissemination of misinformation in political-related videos, with many shared by well-meaning individuals. Government officials are raising concerns over the potential undermining of democratic processes and public trust due to this rampant misinformation. Measures to counter this issue are under discussion, but it presents a challenge due to the complex nature of verifying information and the rapid spread on social media platforms.

In Japan, with the advance in technology and rise in digital communication, the issue of misinformation has become a significant concern, particularly in the political field. Respect for truth and balance in information sharing is deeply valued in Japanese society, making this a hot button issue. With general elections in Japan often decided by small margins, misleading information could significantly affect election results.

Similar to what’s happening in Japan, the issues of misinformation and fake news have become ubiquitous worldwide, including the US and EU. In these regions, there have been considerable debates over freedom of speech and the responsibility of social media platforms in moderating content. Misinformation may also influence election results, as seen in various high-profile instances.
