'Late Start' 5th Broadcasting Communications Deliberation Committee Resolves Backlog of Digital Sex Crime Cases
Processing 9,700 Cases at an Average of 500 per Day
Broadcasting and Communication Reviews to Normalize by Year-End
[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] On the 1st, the 5th term Broadcasting and Communications Review Committee, which was belatedly launched on August 9, announced that it had decided to request corrections for nearly 9,700 cases of digital sex crime information within three weeks of its launch.
The Digital Sex Crime Review Subcommittee of the Broadcasting and Communications Review Committee held a total of 17 meetings from August 10 to 31 to promptly reactivate the 24-hour continuous review system, reviewing an average of about 500 cases of digital sex crime information per day.
Regarding broadcasting reviews, since holding the first Broadcasting Review Subcommittee meeting of the 5th term on August 13, a total of eight meetings were held by the end of August. They are sequentially reviewing socially controversial issues such as SBS's "Joseon Exorcist" and MBC's "2020 Tokyo Olympics Opening Ceremony."
By expanding the number of subcommittee meetings for broadcasting and advertising to three times a week and focusing on handling accumulated complaints, it is expected that all backlog complaints will be resolved by October. As of the end of August, telecommunications reviews related to illegal harmful information such as gambling and drugs processed 27,000 cases, accounting for 17.5% of approximately 154,000 backlog cases.
The Broadcasting and Communications Review Committee plans to hold meetings twice a week as a basic schedule but will convene additional extraordinary meetings if necessary to promptly handle the backlog of review cases by the end of the year.
