Abstract
We often see platforms (such as YouTube, Twitter and etc.) suspending, freezing, or etc., the accounts of the users of such platforms. 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. However, if the decisions by the platforms on suspending, freezing, or etc., the accounts are wrong, what kind of remedies the users would have under the Japanese laws and practice? 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.
