The Guardian looks at Korea's plans on Internet anonymity
2008/10/12 21:00The Guardian has published an article on the Korean government’s plans to limit Internet anonymity in the face of protests over the summer and the recent high-profile death of a famous actress.
But Professor Zittrain brings up the obvious question when dealing with the Internet: How will the Korean government respond when users decide to start using websites based outside of Korea?
Update: The New York Times which covered the death of Choi Jin-Sil has posted a story on the Korean government's plans for new Internet regulation.Professor Jonathan Zittrain, co-founder of Harvard's Berkman Centre for Internet & Society, says other aspects of the new laws are unworkable. "There are genuine worries about misinformation that can be spread online, but a regime of requiring real-name registrations for all message boards and chatooms would represent a sweeping law-enforcement effort - and one that could not be readily accomplished without filtering out overseas sites that decline to implement the requirement."
