Miiverse Censoring

[Demon_Skeith]

Concerned about 'smear-campaigns' against products, Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata has started discussing the balance between free speech and moderation for the Wii U’s Miiverse service.

Miiverse will be Nintendo’s virtual community for its next console, and will allow users to post their opinion of games. Nintendo is concerned that this could lead to “negative campaigns on the internet in which false opinions are deliberately posted to ruin the reputation of a product.”

But Iwata has acknowledged the inherent danger of censoring negative comments, saying:

“It is very difficult to tell consumers' real complaints from those that are posted as part of a negative campaign. If we were to delete anything negative about our games, it could constitute a suppression of free speech and you would not able to believe in even a good reputation.”
