Details | This study investigates "traditional" values concerning communication privacy in Japan from the perspective of Japanese socio-linguistic culture with a view to appropriately conceptualising communication privacy that is compatible with Japanese traditional social norms concerning communications as well as with today's networked world. The current and revised Japanese personal information protection law lacks conformity to those norms, while the functioning of the social norms in question has deteriorated, due to socio-technological changes in Japan. A re-examination of Japanese traditional communication ethics, a proper conceptualisation of the right to communication privacy based on such a re-examination, and the development of appropriate measures to protect that right are urgently needed in Japanese society. |
