South Korea Wants More Internet Regulation

The government of South Korea is working on plans to place more regulations on the Internet in the country.

South Korea is the most wired country in the world and the Internet played a major role in helping ex-Hyundai CEO Lee Myung Bak get elected president. Now the government is considering a Cyber Defamation Law.

"We have to guard against ‘infodemics,’ in which inaccurate, false information is disseminated, prompting social unrest that spreads like an epidemic," Lee told parliament early in July.
