Nice to see they've sorted that out just such glass tubes are on their way out.

If only they had banned questionable manga earlier this would never have happened.

Coffee at premium coffe shops here seems sour to me. I like a bitter cup, but sour? Not so much.

From a legal standpoint that doesn't matter, since it was private information that he got while working at the company. Confidentiality agreements, which are legally binding, state that you can't disclose confidential information even after you leave.
It's not about what you want to be legal, it's about what is legal.
Consider, for a example, a nurse who takes care of a patient but then quits. If the ex-nurse discusses the details of her former patients' medical conditions, she can be sued for violating their privacy.

You can still be sued for disclosing confidential business information, particularly when it causes your company's stock to tank.

Looks like it tanked on the Japanese exchange but not so much on the NYSE.

At the risk of being holier than y'all, there was no time when I considered watching a YouTube video of a two-year-old being hit by cars.
To Samantha, good for you for getting involved. No good deed goes unpunished, but it's nice to see that some people will step up anyway.

Sex with livestock is illegal, but is bestiality anime illegal?
Bestiality anime and child porn anime would be vile but victimless.

There are a few issues here.
First is split schedules. I work at home in the morning and from 2PM to 8PM at the office. Needless to say, I keep later hours. My next-door neighbor works at an izakaya. I almost never see him. The oldsters downstairs wake up with the sun and come back pleasantly drunk by 6PM. Under those circumstances, what seems like a reasonable hour to one person can seem unreasonable to another. After 10PM I use headphones. That seems reasonable to me.
The second problem is shoddy construction. Self-explanatory.
The third problem is unrealistic expectations. My building posts warnings against after-hours showers. This is a reinforced concrete manshon with heavy steel doors. I'm considerate of noise after 10PM, but if the sound of someone's shower going is enough to set you off, it's your problem, not the showerers'.

Quite a bit of hyperventilating there, Mr. Kelts.
First, legislating morality is nothing new. We do it all the time. It is illegal to sleep with ten-year-olds. That's legislating morality, and most of us agree that it's a good idea.
Second, would you care to support your assertion that the governor is ignoring live-action kiddie porn, because that's a serious accusation. Child porn is already illegal in Tokyo. The governor would ALSO like to ban illustrated kiddie porn.
For the record, I think child anime porn is vile but banning it borders on banning thought crimes. But let's not act like legislating morality is something new.
