A report by the Japan Olympic Committee (JOC) and the Japanese Paralympic Committee reveals that defamatory social media posts targeting Japanese athletes were more prevalent during the FIFA World Cup than during the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. About 1% of posts related to this year's World Cup, co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, were classified as defamatory. Although the majority of posts were supportive, negative opinions can still deeply hurt athletes, prompting calls for countermeasures to ensure athletes can compete with peace of mind at upcoming events like the Asian Games.
