Apple's market share in Japan is big.

Not sure about other places yet.

I live here in Japan and it is quite hard to adjust especially with the language.

I'm just working in a Japanese company that's trying to go global.

But imagine, starting your own business, legal papers that need to be in Japanese. Compliances. Paperworks. It is tough.

Even filing taxes here is tough for a foreigner.

#8 - she had the whole day (feb 13) to post bail. well, she was able to post bail within a week anyway.

#3 and #4 - This one is cyber libel. It covers 12 years after publication.

CYBER LIBEL

Fact check this arrest of Maria Ressa due to cyberlibel? Consider these:

1. The case stemmed from an article posted by Rappler IN MAY 2012 against a businessman, Wilfredo Keng, whereby the said article alleged that CJ Corona used an SUV owned by Keng during his impeachment trial.

2. Keng sued not because of the SUV angle but because the Rappler story maliciously imputed that he is engaged in human trafficking and illegal drugs.

3. Keng sued for cyberlibel in OCTOBER 2017, or 5 years after the original story was posted. There was no cyberlibel law yet when the story came out IN MAY 2012. The Cyber Libel Law came in effect SEPTEMBER 2012.

4. However, instead of heeding the request of Keng to take down the story, Rappler posted an update on the same story in FEBRUARY 2014, when the cyberlibel law was already in effect.

5. Last January 10, the DOJ found probable cause against Maria Ressa, reporter/researcher Reynaldo Santos Jr. and Rappler for cyberlibel.

6. The DOJ rejected the motion of Ressa’s camp to dismiss the charge based on their argument that the filing was beyond the one year prescription period. The DOJ said that under the cyberlibel law, there is no 1 Year prescription period indicated.

7. Judge Rainelda Estacio-Montesa issued a warrant of arrest dated February 12, 2019, TUESDAY.

8. Ressa had the whole day of Wednesday, Feb13, 2019 to post bail. But she did not do so, and instead, invited media people to her office prior to the arrival of the NBI personnel who were to serve the WOA.

These are the facts.

It is a continuous crime. Ressa and her company were requested to take down the libelous article but they didn't heed it.
