So they're removing of opt-in consent for sharing personal data that is considered low-risk (what data is considered as such is not mentioned in the article, and as we all know it's too easy to deanonymize or extrapolate identities), and allowing the free face-scanning of people.
I hope the japanese people are aware of this and trying to fight it back, because sure as hell doesn't sound like a legal change like this is worth it.

Looks good. In the future this data will be so valuable that, for most people, it will eclipse the value generated during their workday.

Now relax your xenophobic anti-immigration views and you'll be getting somewhere, Sana!
