Introducing Kannon's New Yahoo! Finance Monitoring Service for Online Defamation Prevention

Kannon's New Monitoring Service for Yahoo! Finance

Tribe Force, based in Minato, Tokyo, has recently announced an expansion to its online defamation prevention service, Kannon, which now includes monitoring capabilities for Yahoo! Finance forums. This upgrade aims to provide companies with crucial tools to manage and mitigate the risks associated with online criticism and misinformation.

The Importance of Monitoring Online Forums

In recent years, investor-oriented forums have become notorious for allowing not only valid criticisms but also malicious defamation and baseless rumors to flourish. This trend poses significant risks, including potential damage to corporate brand images and unjust declines in stock prices for publicly listed companies. The burden of monitoring vast amounts of daily posts falls heavily on IR and legal departments, creating both time and mental strain.

The New Features of Kannon

To address these challenges, Kannon's AI-based automatic patrol platform now includes Yahoo! Finance, introducing several key benefits:

1. Automatic Detection of Misinformation: Kannon's AI now monitors not only popular platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Google but also specific stock forums on Yahoo! Finance. This allows for a substantial reduction in the manual monitoring workload for IR and legal teams.

2. Risk Visibility Through Scoring: Posts can be analyzed by Kannon’s AI, receiving one of four scores—normal, positive, negative, or defamatory. This objectivity helps prioritize high-risk posts on a dashboard for quicker response and effective risk management.

3. Seamless Integration for Legal Action: The AI can automatically identify accounts that repeatedly post negative content or spread rumors concerning specific companies. Kannon facilitates smooth transitions to legal actions, including evidence collection, when necessary.

Flexible Pricing Plans

Kannon offers a flexible pricing structure to accommodate different user needs:

- Free Plan: Allows for monitoring one protected entity across two platforms with full functionality available to trial (no credit card required).
- Paid Plan: Starting from ¥10,000 (approximately $70) per month, users can monitor two protected entities across at least five platforms, with credits allocated monthly.

Future Developments

Kannon plans to enhance its service by expanding the range of platforms it covers, improving AI accuracy, and strengthening its service offerings. The goal is to become the standard self-defense tool for all businesses and individuals troubled by online defamation and reputational damage on the internet.
