Japanese Court Says 'Juki Net' Doesn't Violate Residents' Privacy
In Japan, the Fukuoka District Court on Friday rejected a lawsuit that claimed the national residency registry network violates privacy rights, ruling it constitutional. The ruling was made on a lawsuit brought by 24 residents of Fukuoka Prefecture who wanted their personal information removed from so-called Juki Net electronic network because they said it infringed upon their constitutional rights and partly due to concerns their personal information could be leaked.
