Government of South Korea
The Government of South Korea practiced censorship of gay-content websites from 2001 to 2003, through its "Information and Communications Ethics Committee" (정보통신윤리위원회), an official organ of the Ministry of Information and Communication, under its category of "obscenity and perversion"; for example, it shut down the website "ex-zone", a website about gay and lesbian issues, in 2001. That practice has since been reversed.
