The range of internet restrictions in South Korea is quite comprehensive. The Korean (CSD) Communication Standards Division, an arm of the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology (MICT), has shut down a number of websites that include pro-North Korean propaganda, pornography, and unrated video games.
Furthermore, unlike in different areas of the globe, South Korean laws never consider a person’s statement to be adequate protection against defamation: Even if you post something that damages a person’s reputation, you may be held responsible. The goal of the phrase “withhold content” is to shut down critics of law enforcement or disclosures that, in the view of some people, should be made public.
