## Notice Regarding New Company Establishment
Notice Regarding New Company Establishment and Transfer of Business

As of today we have established a new company, "Distributed Social Network Organization LLC.", that will solely manage distributed social networking sites, in order to see the continued development mstdn.jp and mastodon.cloud in addition to improving transparency.

In addition to receiving comments and requests regarding the disclosure of server costs, and the clarification of the usage purposes of personal information, there had been calls to disclosure the accounting details of server costs among other items in other Mastodon instances.
However, as the current system makes disclosure difficult to achieve, after careful consideration, we came to our decision as by making accounting independent as a separate legal body as it will allow us to disclose server costs.
Furthermore, it will allow us to make it so the new company is not reliant on our companies other services and is independent in terms of use and privacy policy, too.
In future, we aim to use customers comments as reference and improve the company so that it is fitting of distributed social networking sites, such as by making efforts to make personal information protection.
The transfer of business is scheduled for 7/26 (Fri) JST, but this is still subject to slight change.
