Japanese official slams \u201cnuisance\u201d streamers amid Johnny Somali arrest X\/g_menguts_chJapanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Matsuno is calling out YouTubers for causing trouble after Johnny Somali was arrested for allegedly trespassing during a Kick broadcast. The streaming world has been alight with controversy in recent weeks with Kick streamer Johnny Somali causing disturbances in Japan, much to the frustration of locals and other streamers. In the past few months, Somali had been attacked for racist outbursts directed towards locals and even harassed Twitch streamer Meowko after running into her. Now, following his arrest at the hands of Japanese police, Cabinet Secretary Matsuno has weighed in on the controversy. Streamers urged to stop \u201cinvading privacy and causing nuisance\u201d in Japan At a press conference in late September, Cabinet Secretary Matsuno discussed the controversy and expressed his belief that streamers should refrain from, \u201cinvading privacy and causing nuisance.\u201d While the official believes that streamers should have a right to broadcast, the trouble IRL streams have caused for non-streamers made him speak out. \u201cOf course, we must ensure the freedom of YouTubers and other broadcasters, but within that, we must not violate the privacy of others or cause nuisance. Naturally, you must refrain from doing so,\u201d he said. Matsuno further added that the police should respond accordingly with this policy whenever privacy is infringed or someone is causing a nuisance. Since being arrested live on stream for allegedly breaking into a construction site, Johnny Somali has remained inactive on Kick and hasn\u2019t posted to Discord. It\u2019s still not clear what he has been charged with, but trespassing in Japan can result in three years in jail. We\u2019ll have to wait and see what happens with the controversial streamer and if a trial looms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
