Danggeun Market Strengthens Policy to Eradicate Illegal Posts

Announcement of Community Guidelines

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheolhyun] Carrot Market, a local community service (co-CEOs Kim Yonghyun and Kim Jaehyun), announced on the 6th that it will strengthen policies to eradicate illegal posts by announcing 'Community Guidelines' to create a proper trading culture and a healthy user environment.

Through these community guidelines, Carrot Market stated that the three core values are 'trust,' 'respect,' and 'ethics.' To this end, strong user sanctions have been established for posts including fraudulent acts, illegal transactions involving people or life, obscene chats and posts, abusive language and insults, discriminatory remarks, and more.

In particular, it was informed that even posts jokingly uploaded involving buying and selling life or illegal posts containing violence and unethical content can be subject to legal punishment, and users were urged to promptly and actively report such posts when found. In addition, the reporting categories have been subdivided and provided, and the guidelines and report buttons have been placed in easily accessible locations to improve accessibility. Carrot Market plans to continuously reflect the analyzed reported content in future policy-making processes.

The severity of sanctions against users who post illegal content has also been increased. Depending on the seriousness of the case, strong user sanctions such as hiding posts, forced logout, temporary or permanent service restrictions, and even cooperation with investigative agencies will be applied. Reports can also be made against users who have already withdrawn, and the same standards of sanctions will apply.

Carrot Market stated that in addition to technological advancement and policy efforts, it plans to build a service foundation where everyone can safely use the platform by encouraging participation from users active in each local community. Even though technology cannot cover all situations, the company is committed to ensuring that users can enjoy a healthier service environment.

Currently, Carrot Market operates response processes for inappropriate posts including ▲user reporting system ▲internal monitoring ▲filtering using artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning technology ▲filtering through keyword refinement. To strengthen proactive prevention, it is also researching monitoring processes that can respond more swiftly to emergency situations. Long-term investments will be made to advance AI technology capable of pre-filtering posts that show abnormal patterns or are analyzed to be outside the normal range. A Carrot Market official said, "We will continue to do our best to establish a healthy and safe online community space equipped with self-purification capabilities through the positive influence of users and Carrot Market’s technology."
