The shit levied against Japan by the State Department only increased after Musk was going to and took over Twitter (and of course after enough time since murdering Abe had passed; only waited about 10~11 months). Feds couldn't mess with the algos to socially engineer them or other foreign nations towards the far-left/neomarxist goals anymore, so they went the backdoor route to shove bills through the Diet. Although the grip is lessened on expat American teachers spreading bullshit through English programs, I'm not sure how much ground was gained for the groomers. as the bill that went through wasn't the one pushed by the State Dept/Media. However, the "sexual assault" law rewrites will definitely do more damage in the long run (no proof of threat and longer statutes of limitation).
At this point though even with the Twitter algos thrashed to bits, the amount of fuckery Musk has done to the site - still engaging in shadowbanning, outright banning many artists each week or so, turning it into a walled garden, and the entire brand change - is causing some artists to slowly leave anyway. Namely towards Misskey and Discord, and probably whatever else will crop up. What the political types are doing, I don't know. It'll be a trickle, but I think just like how a lot of JP artists shifted away from Pixiv towards Twitter back around 2017 or so, something similar will happen here.
My hope is the Japanese keep holding the line. We've already seen them shit on the "porikore" stuff that Crapcom, Squenix and other major game companies are foisting upon us. Those more political in my circles have taken note of the BLM riots and have been calling out the current pushes for mass migration... But we'll see what happens. We do know that most elected officials around the world don't listen to the citizenry anyway.
