Cover reached a settlement on October 28 with a minor who posted false personal information about an affiliated hololive talent as if it were true. A court recognized the posts as an infringement of the talent's right to privacy.
Reporting from 1 source: Inside.
Why it matters
Cover's line that the talent was hurt regardless of the poster's age shows the agency applying its standard response template to an offender a court process identified as a minor, and extending the settlement terms to the parent.
Key Facts
- Cover reported the settlement on October 28.
- The posts contained personal information about an affiliated hololive production talent that differed from the truth and were presented as true.
- A court recognized the posts as infringing the talent's right to privacy.
- The settlement requires deletion of the posts, a letter of apology, a pledge against future rights-infringing acts against any affiliated talent, and payment of damages.
- The subject is a minor, and the parent promised to pay damages and supervise the individual.
Under the settlement the individual deletes the posts, submits a letter of apology, pledges not to commit further rights-infringing acts against any affiliated talent, and pays damages, with a penalty set for violation.
Because the subject was a minor, the settlement also binds the parent. Cover said the individual's parental authority promised to pay the damages and to supervise the individual going forward.
Cover framed the outcome as unchanged by the age finding. The company said the fact that its affiliated talent was hurt by the rights-infringing act remains the same, and that it will continue to respond appropriately as it does in other cases. The posts were found to infringe on the talent's privacy right after the individual was identified and negotiations were held.
