On social media, it becomes easy to connect with people who share similar views, and as these opinions are repeated, they become increasingly radicalized. As a result, people stop trying to encounter voices from different standpoints. What is the structure of the polarization occurring in our information space? An excerpt from “A Society Filling with Lies” (written by Shinichi Yamaguchi / Asahi Shimbun Publications), released in June 2026.

Asahi Shimbun readers.

Is “fake news” supposed to be like “KY” (Reading the air)?
26: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:03:40.03 ID:SjrtTy0r0
It’s rich coming from the people who kept peddling fake news articles themselves to talk about “fake news.”
7: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:00:25.20 ID:TYuhX2O80
People who used to subscribe to the Asahi are the exact type to get taken in by that kind of info on social media.
8: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:00:35.05 ID:riS+4pkK0
Like elderly people who only watch TV?
11: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:00:56.64 ID:SlItFZbd0
The citizens who believed the Imperial Headquarters’ announcements without question after they were exaggerated and reported.
12: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:00:58.48 ID:f9WaCiK50
A society filling with lies… an Asahi society.
17: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:01:38.98 ID:9GsbX3eV0
People who believe newspaper and TV reports exactly as they are.
22: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:02:39.61 ID:45440QwA0
“TV and newspapers are full of lies. I saw it on the internet, so it must be true.”
28: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:04:04.56 ID:SVJStF9n0
“You don’t need sophisticated tricks to deceive people. Just show them the next chapter of the ‘story they want to believe,’ and they will willingly jump into the trap themselves.”
41: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:07:31.83 ID:KNWBuNAn0
What’s with this sudden change? Are they criticizing Bunshun and the opposition parties?
47: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:08:50.12 ID:g42Et3pk0
Probably the same people who used to read Tensei Jingo.
54: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:09:38.89 ID:IBe+zvCI0
Politicians, weekly magazine readers, peace activists, people with biased political ideologies, environmental protection groups, and people who think bears are just gentle creatures—they’re all dangerous.
57: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:10:58.00 ID:WwYCyYRR0
It’s funny hearing this from people whose own nationalities are arguably “fake.”
58: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:11:00.12 ID:8S39dW100
It’s also hard to believe people who can’t prove a lie is a lie. So, what *should* we believe?
60: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:11:18.70 ID:L80pqqjm0
Ah, so it’s about the echo chamber minorities. About the left-wing anti-Japan activists.
62: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:11:38.42 ID:V/9+ifB90
Things got drastically worse after Elon bought Twitter, didn’t they?

Last year’s X nationality disclosure feature was a game-changer.
It revealed that many people were actually Chinese or Korean pretending to be Japanese, which made it much harder for them to post their stuff. That was huge.
67: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:12:15.64 ID:X3lJ4js00
People get scammed or fall for “dark part-time jobs” way too easily.
78: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:13:50.24 ID:pZ7BcI7V0
You could replace “SNS” with “newspapers, TV, or weekly magazines,” and the sentence would still be perfectly valid.
82: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:14:14.01 ID:5vnPzLY80
It means if you only read the Asahi Shimbun, that’s what happens to you.
87: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:15:18.33 ID:L80pqqjm0
Conspiracy theories and labeling. That’s exactly what the Constitutional Democratic Party was doing.
92: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:15:55.18 ID:gwt8kZtR0
They basically occupied the two biggest brainwashing institutions—”news and schools”—but it’s funny how public opinion is running wild in the completely opposite direction of their expectations, lol.
101: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:17:39.56 ID:HlgqCkV/0
It’s funny that the fabricated-news experts, Asahi, are saying this.
106: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:18:49.14 ID:g42Et3pk0
It’s like a religion.
109: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:19:16.12 ID:CDq0nSbZ0
The world is fake, lol.
119: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:19:55.94 ID:ku3Tctj10
> “Filter bubbles and echo chambers narrow the information environment, and confirmation bias acts upon them.”
Before SNS existed, our opinions were just being distorted by the newspapers we subscribed to anyway.
120: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:20:00.89 ID:YrwsTfBs0
Write an article about the characteristics of people who are easily fooled by “old media” too.
123: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:20:22.60 ID:4Mes7sq30
Like the “poyo” (leftists) who think China is a utopia.
124: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:20:32.72 ID:F7h0RW/k0
People only believe what they want to believe.
131: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:21:44.23 ID:6YE+OaIh0
You mean the “centrists,” lol.
156: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:26:47.03 ID:JfQ6PXOl0
The core of it is people who are easily swayed by those around them. Especially those who got the vaccine just because “everyone else is doing it.”
171: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:28:41.48 ID:ZdKiaNkK0
“The truth is on the internet~”
179: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:29:47.16 ID:uU5hEgDB0
Where did the Deep State go?
230: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:36:03.65 ID:kR0a302z0
Anyone who thinks there are no conspiracies is just an ignorant idiot.
313: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:47:58.29 ID:Ky7/VjVM0
People who aren’t relaxed tend to become reckless like wild boars, no matter what circle they’re in.
415: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:59:48.46 ID:h1aRjIAa0
Hikikomoris (shut-ins) who have nowhere else to belong but the net, or elderly people with too much time on their hands.
507: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 11:11:45.56 ID:HzDY/fNp0
You mean the “triple structure” of old media that narrows our perspective, right?
601: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 11:26:50.93 ID:ATFDXD+l0
Old media is basically fake stuff anyway.
718: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 11:41:12.16 ID:dojyDCZH0
Old media is desperate because their circulation and ratings are dropping.
831: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 11:53:31.24 ID:q2A1a71z0
What we need isn’t the ability to doubt information, but the ability to doubt ourselves.
932: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 12:04:18.60 ID:K7F/yWdt0
Japan’s biggest fake media outlet is saying this. It’s the same structure as an organization involved in conspiracies calling something a “conspiracy theory.”
147: Unknown Japuzz Watcher 2026/07/02(Thu) 10:24:44.96 ID:3LvvzoYf0
There is a famous word “Asahi-ru” (to Asahi), which means to fabricate something.
