S. Korea gets tough on porn
p2pnet news | politics:- South Korea’s ministry of information and communication has its eye on the likes of Naver, Daum and Yahoo and some of their users.
Under a new law, anyone who posts pornographic material on portals such as the three named could be fined W100 million (more than $108,000) , says the Digital Chosun Ilbo, and, “Portals that manipulate the ranking of popular search words will be slapped with a maximum fine of W30 million.”
The revised law, “compels Internet portals to put up the manpower and mechanisms to prevent uploading of pornographic material,” the story states, adding:
“Portals have dodged accountability for obscene postings by citing a shortage of manpower.”
