Following a racist joke that linked Hideo Kojima to the assassination of Japan’s longest-serving Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Kojima Productions has threatened legal action against those who contribute to the “spread of fake news and rumors that convey false information.”
Kojima Productions tweeted out its statement earlier today, July 9, saying that it “strongly condemns the spread of fake news and rumors that convey false information.
We do not tolerate such libel and will consider taking legal action in some cases.”
Now, Kojima Productions is doubling down and letting those out there know that this is not something to joke about and that it will take legal action in certain cases if any of this libel against Hideo Kojima continues.
