Harassment and threats are obviously awful, but I find this settlement condition pretty fucked up. It feels a bit like a digital pillory, meant to humiliate.

    I'm not familiar with the Japanese social media ecosystem, so take this with a grain of salt, but since they weren't named in the post, it doesn't seem like humiliation to me.

    I wonder if it was a trade.

    Like, do an anonymous interview so other people understand, and we'll lighten your sentence.
