Regarding the results of our response to the extremely malicious slander and trolling directed at our affiliated live streamer, Haru Kaida | ANYCOLOR Inc.

In addition, in order to prevent such malicious acts of slander and vandalism from occurring in the future, we have conducted a written survey of the affected individuals as a condition of the court settlement.

The purpose of conducting this survey of the target users' attitudes is that, given the current situation in which malicious slander and trolling acts are on the rise, we believe that it is essential for us to understand from multiple angles the underlying causes and background of why these acts occur in order to take effective measures against slander and trolling acts.

Furthermore, we have received consent from the survey participants to make the results of this survey public in order to prevent future defamatory behavior.

By publishing the results of this awareness survey, we hope that many people will become aware of the inner motivations and psychological state of the subjects, their past experiences and environments, etc. that were revealed in the responses, as well as the causes and background that led them to commit defamatory acts, and the consequences of such acts.We hope that this will ultimately help form opinions towards the eradication of defamatory acts, which are a major social problem.
