TOKYO -- The mother of a girl who went missing on a family camping trip in September 2019 has filed suit at the Tokyo District Court demanding U.S. social media giant Twitter Inc. reveal the identities of users who slandered her online over her daughter's disappearance.
"I was wounded by the swords of people's words online," 38-year-old Tomoko Ogura told an April 20 news conference. "I don't want anyone else to have to experience what I've gone through." She added that, if Twitter reveals the information on her online attackers, then it will be possible to file damages lawsuits and criminal reports against them.
