A digital prison that disclosed the personal information of a violent crime suspect, saying that the judiciary's punishment for criminals is generous and that it will conduct a direct social judgment. There was a controversy over unreasonable personal sanctions, such as the professor becoming innocent.
On the 10th, the Korea Communications Standards Commission decided to'hold a decision' because the digital prison site was not accessed. As the site announced the resumption of operation, an urgent review was held today (14th).
The National Guard has decided to'block access' for 7 cases of defamation information and 10 cases of personal information about sex offenders posted in digital prisons.
However, we decided not to block access to the entire site.
Of the 89 posts, only 17 had problems, so we judged that they did not exceed 75% of the total blocking criteria.
The opinions of the committee members who oppose the entire blockade include "there is a side of gaining public profits by letting go rather than the profits obtained by blocking the entire site", "over-regulation of the entire site is concerned. Individual cases must be deliberated", etc. There was this.
While controversy over excessive personal sanctions and defamation is likely to continue, the National Guard is planning to strengthen monitoring of illegal posts on digital sites.
