December 28, 2021 MIC vs. Eagle Talon—Creation and Release of “#NoHeartNoSNS Operation by Eagle Talon” Content to Raise Awareness of Countermeasures against Internet Slander and Defamation

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) has launched a special website entitled “#NoHeartNoSNS (It’s not a social networking service without a heart!)” featuring the popular characters of Eagle Talon under the slogan “#NoHeartNoSNS.”

MIC has been working on countermeasures against slander on the Internet under the slogan “#NoHeartNoSNS (It’s not a social networking service without a heart!)” based on the policy package of September 2020 for dealing with slander on the Internet.
As a specific initiative of awareness-raising activities in this policy package to improve information morality and ICT literacy among users, MIC has launched this special website, “#NoHeartNoSNS (It’s not a social networking service without a heart!)” in collaboration with the popular characters of Eagle Talon.
This unique website includes four animated videos, manga, pamphlets, and other data.
The website introduces the animation videos of four complete episodes, cartoons, brochure data, etc. The content features Eagle Talon, an evil secret society that aims to take over the world, and Heartkyun (original character), a preacher of a safe and secure SNS life filled with love and peace to create a society where everyone can live in peace. Please check it out.
OHASHI Ayaka, a popular voice actor, will play the role of the original character Heartkyun.

Message from OHASHI Ayaka

I have always loved pigeons (a smile).
It was such a pleasure to play Heartkyun!
With the development of social networking sites, it is becoming increasingly convenient and easier to express opinions. Because it has become so easy, it has become easier to see many things that are not good. I have felt sad at times. If you have a tough time with slander, I want you to talk to someone about it instead of keeping it to yourself. I hope these measures will help reduce the number of people going through tough times!
MIC will continue working on measures to prevent slander on the Internet.
