KCSC's First Task After Official Launch: 'Blocking Access to Sexual Exploitation Information'

Resolution to Request Correction Regarding 52 Cases of Digital Sexual Crime Information

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] The Korea Communications Standards Commission, which had been adrift for over half a year due to difficulties in forming the committee, has begun its first official work since its launch.

On the 10th, the Commission announced that it held a Digital Sexual Crime Review Subcommittee meeting and resolved to request corrections regarding 52 cases of digital sexual crime information that were filmed and distributed without the victims' consent. These videos, showing faces and bodies exposed during sexual acts without the parties' consent, were circulated on illegal and pornographic overseas websites.

The subcommittee explained, "The information in question violates Article 14 of the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes. Considering that this malicious sexual exploitation information had been left unattended despite multiple voluntary deletion requests, we decided to block access (request corrections)."

The Commission plans to strengthen its 24-hour monitoring and continuous review system through electronic review methods.

Meanwhile, the formation of the Commission was delayed for over six months due to disagreements between the ruling and opposition parties regarding the appointment of commissioners. On the 9th, former KBS President Jung Yeon-ju was elected as the new Chairperson of the Korea Communications Standards Commission, officially launching the 5th committee.
