Do any of our well-informed regular readers have pointers to some more reliable and details information (in either language) on the Diet’s proposed Internet censorship legislation that everyone’s been talking about?

Hi Roy,
Best place to start is with the actual report itself, and the earlier interim report (both in Japanese).
We’ve done a few posts at GV here and here. Aceface: (a paragraph from the atmarkit article is translated in the first post). Also this article might be of interest.
There are many more links in Japanese, try these:

And the links at the end of this post.
