Cover Announces Measures Taken Against Hololive Defamation

Cover announced on its website the measures it’s been taking against defamation, slander, and libel directed at its hololive talents. You can also make your own reports if you witness distressing or malicious behavior online.

The news on Cover’s website covers its actions from January to December 2024. According to Cover, it addressed 252 cases last year. Its actions mostly focus on removing posts and accounts on social media that infringe upon its rights. It also took legal action against websites, such as aggregator or “matome” sites, that might post personal information about a talent (whether the information is legitimate or not).

Malicious posts, or posts that infringe on Cover or hololive’s rights, usually entails content like impersonation, misinformation, slander, or libel. Direct harassment towards the talents or their fanbase also counts. For years, Cover (and other major VTuber agencies like Anycolor) has worked to keep its VTubers and other talents safe from online slander, defamation, and harassment. As it mentioned in its post in January 2025, this also includes disclosure requests. Disclosure requests only occur in the most malicious cases, though.

You can read the full details of Cover’s 2024 measures against defamation and harassment via its website. It’s available in English and in Japanese.
