Gyeonggi-do Reports 2,157 Harmful Internet Posts... 1,132 Deleted
The Gyeonggi-do Digital Sex Crime Citizen Response Monitoring Team has been found to significantly contribute to the removal of harmful online posts.
The 'Digital Sex Crime Citizen Response Monitoring Team' at the Gyeonggi-do Women's Family Foundation's Gyeonggi-do Digital Sex Crime Victim One-Stop Support Center reported 2,157 harmful posts on social networking services (SNS) and other platforms as of the end of July this year, with 1,132 of these posts being deleted, the center announced on the 24th.
The Digital Sex Crime Citizen Response Monitoring Team was launched in October 2020 to focus on monitoring accounts posting inappropriate content or harmful digital sex crime-related posts on SNS. In its first year of activity in 2021, 28 members reported 9,641 harmful posts. In 2022, 31 members reported 8,464 posts, resulting in 4,573 deletions.
Each year in February, the monitoring team recruits applicants who are adult men and women residing, studying, or working in Gyeonggi-do. About 30 members are selected through a screening process. The selected members undergo a four-week capacity-building training for monitoring activities and then operate from May to December.
Baek Mi-yeon, head of the Digital Sex Crime Victim One-Stop Support Center, stated, "Although the digital environment has become a part of our daily lives, the capability to use it healthily and awareness of digital civic ethics are still insufficient. It is crucial for citizens to participate, including through the activities of the citizen response monitoring team, by paying attention to the changing environment and culture to create a healthy and safe digital environment."
