Cyber Defamation Law

South Korea plans to introduce a Cyber Defamation Law to regulate Internet freedom.

The new law is intended to deal with harmful Internet messages and to improve security and stem false information. It will bring the online medium in line with its tradtional counterparts.

Some measures being proposed are:
1. Suspend sites that go beyond limits
2. Require people posting their comments to use their real names

I believe that these measures are necessary. I have always used my personal name, in posting views on the Internet.
