Real-time delivery of enlightenment advertisements against SNS slander. Established May 25, 2021. Damage will be halved by 2025.

The organization is a project derived from the crowdfunding message advertisement "Let's stop this finger" that started on October 28, 2020. "Let's Stop This Finger" succeeded in raising 3,216,386 yen in one month at the end of the same year. From January 18th (Monday) to January 31st (Sunday), 2021, we posted an advertisement on the MAGNET by SHIBUYA109 big board near the Shibuya Scramble Crossing. The project was started using the joint project AD FOR ALL by CAMPFIRE Co., Ltd. and The Breakthrough Company GO.

◆Activity goals until 2025 This general incorporated association aims to achieve the following by 2025.・Halve the number of slanderous tweets (*Calculation method is under verification) ・More than 100 sponsoring companies ・Authorization of children's books as enlightenment books List of activities planned by general incorporated association "Let's stop this finger" Activity 1: Slander on Twitter detection and display of real-time awareness advertisements. We monitor the occurrence of SNS flames and slander, and post banner advertisements on Twitter in real time. As a partner company, we have partnered with Siempre, which has provided measures against reputational damage and slander to more than 6,000 companies, and has also commissioned cyber patrol operations for the National Police Agency. If the monitoring team determines that there is a lot of slanderous slander on SNS, we will deliver an enlightenment advertisement like the image below. In this case, SNS slander is mainly assumed to be discrimination in general (racism, sexism, lookism, ageism, discrimination against people with disabilities, etc.).・The final decision will be made qualitatively after discussion by the Advisory Board.

Activity 2: Making books for young people and donating to educational institutions. Created enlightenment books based on fairy tales for preschoolers, elementary and junior high school students, etc. who have no knowledge or immunity to slander on SNS. We partner with educational institutions and publishers to donate books to children. The content will also be refined after discussions by the Advisory Board.

Activity 3: Creating and updating a defamation countermeasure flowchart. We will create a slander countermeasure flow chart to support mental care for those who have been slandered on SNS, requests for information disclosure, claims for damages, etc. The flowchart will be updated in real time in accordance with legal revisions and related information changes, and will be published free of charge on the website. A lawyer is involved in supervising the flow chart. Activity 4: Operation of an online community against SNS slander. We operate an online community, share the latest information on SNS slander, and carry out real-time awareness-raising activities against the occurrence of slander. The members consist of support companies, advisory boards, members of this finger stop, etc. We publish activity reports and discussions on related social trends at bimonthly online events and seminars. ◆Kono Tomeyo Advisory Board Kono Tomeyo General Incorporated Association conducts activities with the advice of the following advisory board members.

As a side effect, the negative aspects of slander and defamation have also become a major issue. We hope that this activity will shed some light on those negative aspects and mitigate the negative effects.

Her book is Working Women and Guilt. [Comment from Keiko Hamada] There are many people who are suffering from being slandered and slandered on the Internet. In particular, women who raise their voices and take action to improve society, even if only a little, are targeted. If you click on it, please do not demean them, but support and encourage them. A single click can sometimes lead to great violence, but conversely, depending on your way of thinking, it can also lead to great support. I think that the society that was created in this way will surely be kind to you as well.

He is the author of more than 25 books, including "A prescription for active middle-class personnel who does not work uncle ruins your company" (PHP Shinsho). [Comment from Ms. Momoko Shirakawa] You can casually diss people on SNS or retweet with one click. Even if each one is small, if it rains in large amounts, it can become violent and hurt people, and even lose the power to live. I support this attempt to prevent people from becoming victims without realizing it, and to prevent people from being hurt. Harassment is born in a society that tolerates harassment. Let's all do what we can to create a harassment-free society.

Even now, there are still personal attacks and malicious articles disguised as criticism on the Internet. No matter how earnestly I complained about the damage, I was still hurt by voices such as ``There is a problem with those who are being hit,'' and ``It's worse if you can't ignore it,'' but the world is finally about to change.

[Comment from Hitomi Yamazaki] Many "comedies" will be born by connecting the world digitally. For example, remote work has evolved dramatically, creating possibilities for women's work styles and lifestyles. On the other hand, "tragedy" caused by being too connected with the world is also conspicuous. I believe that the change that the Internet brings to people should be a "comedy" in the end. I believe that the actions of our generation have great meaning.

Young Spikes Asia 2020 Digital Division Japan Representative / Won multiple domestic and international advertising awards such as the World War Special Award. [Comment from Umihiro Kotake] The message advertisement #Konoshi Tomeyou, which was implemented in the wake of last year's sad incident, was successfully crowdfunded with the support of many people. As a result, the number of slanders has temporarily decreased in the data. On the other hand, I feel that the number of slanders has increased again in the last few months. Most recently, there have been heartless voices against people with disabilities and Olympic athletes, as well as threats against anime production companies. We believe that these cases are inseparable from the impact of the social stress of the corona crisis. In that case, we thought that a long-term approach was necessary, and decided to continue our activities by becoming a general incorporated association. We are full of gratitude for the warm support we have received from experts and corporations in each industry even before our organization was established. We are always actively looking for external support, so please feel free to contact us by email for financial support, interviews, participation as an advisor, consultation on collaboration, etc. General incorporated association Let's stop this finger E-mail address info@yubitome.or.jp
