Professor Natsui's blog [1] featured a commentary on Japan's personal information protection legislation, in the form of a review of a so-called "privacy freak book" [2]. I strongly agree.

The proposed amendment to the Personal Information Protection Act was approved by the Cabinet on Tuesday and made public [1]. Several problems have been pointed out regarding this amendment. Today, I would like to focus on two of these issues: 1. The scope of the regulation of anonymously processed information is not properly set. 2.
