TOKYO — Internet service providers should disclose the names, addresses and other personal information of users who post messages suggesting suicides or murder, a National Police Agency panel of security experts recommended Thursday. Japan has been hit by a spate of cases of group suicides by people who got together through sites on the Internet.
The NPA plans to ask Internet service providers through an industry group to cooperate and disclosure information and hopes to put the measure into practice this summer. Internet service providers, which have obligations to protect the confidentiality of communications, stipulate in their guidelines that they would not disclose personal information except in emergencies.

I wonder what the police will do after they get the information though
