A short update on my lawsuit against LINE. There was a hearing on June 17, 2026.

The court laid out the two issues it sees in the case. First, whether LINE owes me the service at all. Second, whether the grounds LINE claims for suspending my account hold up.

On the first issue, both sides have said about all there is to say, so it now falls to the court to decide.

On the second, LINE has until the next hearing to decide whether to file a further rebuttal. If they do, depending on what they argue, I may have to appear in court in person to be questioned. If they don’t, and the court finds that LINE does owe me the service, then my request to have the account unfrozen has a good chance of being granted, and LINE’s breach of contract recognized along with it.

So for now it comes down to whether LINE files anything more, and what. I’ll post again when there’s news.
