A bill was proposed two years ago to require the government to manage services such as KakaoTalk so that services such as KakaoTalk do not stop working in the event of a fire or something in the data center.

Even the minister at the time asked for the bill to be passed, but it failed to cross the threshold of the National Assembly.



Reporter Lee Hyun-young will tell you what happened in the National Assembly at that time.

Choi Ki-young, then Minister of Science and ICT, attended the last legislative and judicial committee meeting of the 20th National Assembly in May 2020.



In order to prepare for disasters, value-added telecommunication operators such as data centers are also appealing to pass a bill to be included in the 'National Disaster Management Facility'.



[Choi Ki-young / Minister of Science and ICT at the time: Because I think that it is very important to prepare for disasters in the data center because there can be very big confusion…

However, since all of the companies concerned have already been designated as 'major information and communication facilities' that take data protection measures, adding them to the national disaster management target is 'duplicate regulation' and 'infringement of trade secrets'. exploded



[Kim Jong-min / Democratic Party lawmaker: It violates the excessive ban due to overlapping regulation, maybe there are some legal issues like this.]



[Jung Jeom-sik / Future United Party Member: I am very concerned about trade secrets and invasion of privacy.] In



addition to precautionary measures The minister's appeal for the need for disaster preparedness and post-recovery measures was ignored.



[Choi Ki-young / Minister of Science and ICT at the time: This is a livelihood bill now…

.]



[Song Ki-heon/Democratic Party Rep.: The Basic Act on Broadcasting and Communication Development is not a livelihood bill.]



If the amendment to the Basic Act on Broadcasting and Communication Development was passed at the time, Kakao and SK C&C would provide the government with measures to secure a detour communication route or cooperate with other companies in a disaster situation. It would have been reported to and managed by the company, but due to the logic of industrial development, the bill eventually failed to cross the threshold of the Judiciary Committee and was discarded after 50 minutes of discussion.



[Jang Je-won/Member of the Future United Party: What are you in a hurry to do this way?

Why do I really have to discuss this again in my 21s.]
