ROK Government Wants to Ban Websites that Distribute “Harmful” Information to Children

I wonder if this proposed ban to save children from so called “harmful” information will include websites that push anti-Japanese viewpoints?:

The government is seeking to prevent children’s access to online communities that advocate hate and discriminatory speech against selective groups of people. The move aims to counter a social rift triggered and widened by extremist, gender-divided online communities _ the far-right troll website Ilbe, frequented almost exclusively by men, and the extreme feminist website WOMAD.

According to a report submitted by the Korea Communications Commission (KCC) to Rep. Noh Woong-rae of the Democratic Party of Korea, the commission seeks to revise relevant laws to designate such websites that foster hatred and discrimination as “harmful” to children.  [Korea Times]

This is a good decision.

Too many kids are neglecting Kpop fan sites and online games to invest time at the WOMAD website.

Also, it is hate speech to say anything bad about communists who run gulags.
