South Korea Restricts Free Internet
OpenNet Initiative:
"Major
internet service providers in South Korea were ordered by the Ministry
of
Information and Communication (MIC) to block domestic access to 31
websites considered to be carrying propaganda favoring the North Korean
regime.
Tests undertaken by the ONI in December 2004 and January 2005 reveal
that South Korean blocking extends to far more than the 31 web sites
targeted by the orders. An additional 3,167 unrelated domain names
hosted on the same servers as the blocked sites are also blocked. These
web sites are completely unrelated to North Korea."
