The Bureau of Public Safety has just raided an anti-vax group in Tokyo.

Whatever shit this group did to earn their attention, I expect this to be used as justification to place any/all protest groups under heightened surveillance. The laws allowing extensive surveillance were already put into place years ago, waiting for the right incident to cast as wide a net as needed:

"The Public Safety Department of the Metropolitan Police Department raided the office of an anti-vaccine group that had invaded a vaccination site for the new coronavirus.

The raid took place at the office of "Shinshinto Q," an anti-vaccination group in Minato Ward, Tokyo.

The Public Security Bureau has confirmed that the four men and women are members of this group and is expected to investigate their organizational involvement.

In March, this group staged a protest at a large-scale vaccination site at the Tokyo Dome, and vaccinations were temporarily suspended."

For those unaware, Japan passed the "Conspiracy Law" roughly 5 or 6 years ago which allowed the National Police Association to classify groups of people as "organized crime groups" who are, or are likely to be, planning illegal activities as a group. In concert with expanded wiretapping and surveillance powers enacted earlier, it would now feasibly be possible to place any/all antivax protest groups under higher levels of surveillance with fewer burden-of-evidence requirements:

...oh, and did I mention that the NPA has on-loan access to a version of XKEYSCORE and other NSA toys, both via agreement with the Defense Intelligence Headquarters, and ostensibly through the "unified IT system" created through the new Digital Agency?
