On November 21, 2018, the government-affiliated Ministry of Science and Technology and the Korea Electronics and Communications Research Institute held a workshop on the theme of "Current Status and Solutions of Harmful Media" at COEX in Samseong-dong.
This day's workshop focused on three major themes: "the current state of technology development for blocking harmful media, the distribution of harmful media, and the impact of harmful media on society."
Currently, Harmful Media is developing technology to block what is published with descriptions and subtitles of videos uploaded from the terminal to the server on the Internet.
Furthermore, in 2019, the government budget of 2 billion won will be reinvested, and it will be developed to block pornographic videos such as streaming on the Internet.
On the other hand, according to the Korea Communications Commission, the total number of obscene videos recorded between January and October 2018 was 71,773, a 4.8-fold increase from 2012. .
However, the current situation is that most of the pornographic images are not domestic pornographic images but pornographic images from other countries.
In response to this report, South Korean netizens said, "It's worse than a de facto military dictatorship," "The president should be watching," "I used to support Moon, but I can't support him anymore." Is this a country that can't be seen in China?", "Go to hell", "No, adult content sites should be legalized and thoroughly made available only to adults", "Using state funds 85% of the respondents commented, saying, "I've lived here for over 40 years, but this is the first time I've seen such an incompetent and insane government." I found out it was a man.
From February 11th, South Korea started blocking adult sites. 895 sites have already been filtered and cannot be viewed. Specifically, adult sites, gambling sites, sites where illegal materials such as copyrighted materials are distributed are targeted.
