Quick update on my lawsuit against LINE: after submitting the lawsuit, the initial hearing scheduled for January 13, 2026 has been postponed.

It’s likely that LINE hired a lawyer, and as such requested more time to prepare. The court cancelled the original date, and we’re waiting for LINE to propose new options.

Not much to report beyond that. The case is moving forward, slow, as I would have expected. In the meantime, my LINE account still remains unusable, in that I can’t send messages. I’ll post another update once we have more things to share.
