Following the dissolution of the House of Representatives in Japan, false information about foreigners rapidly spread across the country. This manipulation of public opinion is impacting the political landscape and tarnishing Japan's openness toward foreign residents. The rumor spread quickly despite efforts to prevent it, raising eyebrows about the effectiveness of digital hygiene amongst users.

In Japan, the spread of misinformation about foreigners often compounds existing xenophobia, impacting both politics and society overall. In the current political context, such misinformation is used as a tool to manipulate public opinion, often creating hostile environments for foreigners. It demonstrates a challenge for Japan as it aims to become more global and welcoming to international residents.

In the United States and EU, misinformation and the spreading of false news, particularly during election seasons, are significant issues. Similar to Japan, these regions also struggle against the manipulation of public opinion via social networks. However, the response and solutions vary, with some countries implementing stricter regulations on the proliferation of fake information online.
