Computer is necessary for work, leisure, and almost all things are connected on the web. Give a glance at media, the Internet is more free than other media and it is the benefit. Regulations of some of the platforms on the Internet is getting stricter as rules are being more established.

However, so as not to be look like the current situation of TV, the Internet should have tolerance and generosity of content. Internet is a place where almost every citizen is able to share together contrary to TV which doesn’t allow so many people to be part of it.

In the aftermath of the fire of Notre-Dame de Paris happened in April, now the pollution from the cathedral is problematic. “The fire … caused the fusion and the dispersion of about 400 tons of lead”[1]. For example, “On 25 July, two schools near Notre Dame, … , was closed …”[2]. On 8 August, the decontamination started “in the nursery and elementary schools of Saint-Benoît”[3].

It’s hard to imagine that Notre-Dame de Paris will be reconstructed as originally the French president Emmanuel Macron mentioned.

It feels to me that politics is distinguished among the public. But it is more essential.

In Japan, politics is separated, for example from comedy. Very limited number of comedians touches on it. There’s distance between citizens and politics. I think politics is more infiltrated in a society.

Japanese broadcasting media should cover topics without self-censorship and not just surface it, but they should contain sharpness.

In the field of entertainment, media in Japan has been reporting the news on Yoshimoto Kogyo, some of comedians belonging to it made some harsh comments on TV. Those critical comments made sense since they were what people in front of TV also thought. Now people are sharing opinions on the Internet and in some cases Internet has more critical, edgy, and reasonable perspectives than TV.
