Abstract

In considering this issue, it should be admitted that in some case, such suspending, freezing, or etc., the of the accounts may be strictly necessary.

This paper attempts to contribute to the debate on this issue by introducing a specific case in which the author, as a lawyer qualified in Japan, filed a lawsuit at Tokyo District Court against an international video sharing platform on behalf of a Vtuber.
