It was probably some idiot running scripts on their laptop. I expect email systems detect this activity easily and block it, but I guess not.

I agree with your idea of futuristic but when people say “living in 2050” they are referring to the advances in technology.

The fax thing is not an exception, for example, they make it hard to do things online, often requiring physical copy of documents that you used their website to fill.

I live here, and it gets frustrating how difficult some things here are which these days takes 5 minutes inmost of the countries.

They also ignore security standards and best practices of building modern websites. A very frequent and glaring ignorance of basic security practice that you encounter in Japanese software is restricting the length of passwords to something absurdly small like 8 characters WITH no special characters allowed.

Japanese websites and any of there internet based systems are so bad that there should be a helpline for the mental damage it causes.

How could you miss the Ukronazi flag?

Why is “private forest ownership” a thing?

Did they just used “anti-fascist” as an insult?

The Schrödinger argument, there is freedom or not based on what you ask.

Or die trying
