Ooooh, perfect cue for self-promotion! Wrote a chapter on what kind of tweets get picked up by media as newsworthy (in the Korean context). https://t.co/pn40Hc3aeV

Wow. Oddly reminding me of a Thai user who was prosecuted for a post that could have been posted. https://t.co/0Z0HPhSywM

A few other equivalents to China's "50-cent party" and Russia's "30-ruble army": "cyber troopers" in Malaysia and Singapore, "buzzers" in Indonesia, "public opinion shapers" in Vietnam, "alba" and "shibaldan" in South Korea, "social media team" in Pakistan, and "bhakts" in India https://t.co/zpR0oueiTL

Interestingly comparable to this case study from a neighbouring country (though with a less happy ending). The fragile beauty of peer-to-peer activism: The public campaign for the rights of media consumers in South Korea. NMS. https://t.co/NBw3BH1cGS https://t.co/S7mj4xh9TM

I was referring to this case: https://t.co/bRCHJCMFGI. Here is a @freedomonthenet report from that year for a little more context: https://t.co/w4FbuZ8K7d. I recall L'Origine du monde was also among his posts.

Interesting, but also reminds me of this study by @UCLWhyWePost colleagues. In India, parents from the lower socioeconomic class see their children's use of social media as an IT competence that would lead to social mobility. https://t.co/C2wyJiTS8e https://t.co/KHckjv0EFu

And South Korea has been *showing* you for years. You don't need to look far. On this very platform, such services are advertised every hour. (Consciously choosing not to include the search term) https://t.co/Un7huuohIR

And South Korea remains "partially free" (64/100), due to a record number of content blocks/deletions, molka and other gender-based violences, and online defamation cases. Country report here: https://t.co/lfNpN0XgXy #FreedomOnTheNet

Interesting. This happens to resonate with something I have been pondering a lot lately: the moral policing power of the notion of 민폐. https://t.co/P99VPg6HdG

법 잘 아시는 분들께 여쭙니다. 예전에 언소주라고, 조중동 광고주 불매운동하던 다음카페의 개설자 포함 운영진 몇 명이 위력에 의한 업무방해죄에 공동정범으로 유죄 판결 받았는데요. 다음카페지기에게 공동정범이 성립하는데 N번방 운영자 기소에 범죄단체조직죄가 빠질 수가 있는 건가요?

An Estonian rep at #AoIR2017 said if anything were to go wrong in their e-gov, that would be due to the "analog elements of cyber security": i.e. misbehaving officials, passwords on post-its, changes of management etc. I think of it regularly. https://t.co/0QJ3lnz5CB

South Korea 🇰🇷 saw a modest score improvement, attributable to the easing of real-name verification requirements during election periods, but continued to be marked by newer, digitally mediated forms of gender-based violence, such as molka and sextortion. #FreedomOnTheNet https://t.co/GUoAvG728D

South Korea is known for its high-internet access rates, but it also has one of the widest gender gaps in the world too.

Senior Lecturer Yenn Lee offers insight into how gender-based violence plays out in a digital setting. https://t.co/fjOFowU1jA
i.e. when such law is abused for political control and when such law is hacked for money. The former is well documented in the #FreedomOnTheNet reports since 2009, and how the #molka industry operates is an exemplar of the latter. https://t.co/PdZG0AAMaF
