Hansanghyeok "Agree with overseas operators related to n-bunbang saying the punishment level is weak"

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] Han Sang-hyuk, Chairman of the Korea Communications Commission, said on the 25th regarding the failure to delete obscene materials on overseas SNS, "I believe there is public consensus that the punitive regulations or severity are too low," and added, "We will consider raising the punitive severity based on public agreement."

At the emergency inquiry on the Telegram nth Room issue held by the National Assembly's Science, Technology, Broadcasting and Communications Committee that day, Park Kwang-on, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, pointed out, "Even if overseas operators do not comply with the access blocking order for illegal obscene materials, only a fine of up to 20 million won is imposed."

Chairman Han responded, "I agree that the punitive severity is low." Furthermore, when Representative Park mentioned, "Related search terms concerning the victims' personal information still appear on Google," Chairman Han said, "We requested Google to delete related search terms about the victims. We received the notification of results this morning. We will continue to strengthen monitoring on Google regarding the issue of related search terms appearing."
