<Anchor> In the
wake of the Telegram room n incident that distributed sexual exploitation, the government introduced filtering to the online community to prevent illegal filming from being distributed.
Reporter Jeong Seong-jin pointed out this system, which has been hotly debated since its implementation on the 10th.

This is an open chat room on Kakao Talk with the title 'censorship'.
Posting animal videos, 'cats are also subject to censorship' or bragging that 'I didn't get caught' after sharing pornography.
I will open an open chat room and upload animal videos.
The phrase 'Reviewing illegal filming' popped up, but after 2-3 seconds, it was uploaded as is.
The censorship controversy arose because of this 'under review' notification, but in reality, the government or Internet service provider does not directly open the video.
All it does is match the code of the shared video against the code of the illegal video in the government database.
Censoring even private chat rooms is also not true.
The subject of the regulation under the law is limited to information that is open to the public and circulated, so individual or group chat rooms that cannot be accessed by anyone are excluded.
Finally, the controversy that foreign companies were excluded, and Telegram were omitted, but it is not true as Google and Facebook are included.
Google, Facebook, etc. are filtered out as public communities, but Telegram is classified as a private SNS and omitted, and it has nothing to do with whether it is an overseas company.
Nevertheless, it is difficult to avoid criticism that Telegram, which was the beginning of room n, was omitted.
