Overview
- Square Enix, which disclosed the case Monday, said a court granted its request to obtain the video poster’s identifying information.
- The company reached a settlement that required an apology, payment of undisclosed compensation, and a promise not to repeat the conduct.
- The videos and the user’s account on the unnamed video site have been removed following the agreement.
- This is the second such action in as many months after a March case against the anonymous Netoge Sokuho blog admin that ended with an apology, a fee, and the site’s shutdown.
- Square Enix said it will keep taking strict legal steps under its harassment policy, using court-ordered disclosures to identify anonymous users when necessary.
