what’s more obscene?
watching porns online or blocking porn sites on a national level?
The Ministry of Information and Communication said it will join forces with law enforcement authorities and portal site operators to set up an online surveillance system.
Specifically, the ministry will block links to foreign pornographic sites regarded as sources for obscene materials circulating on the nation’s major portal sites. It will block around 180 such foreign sites by the end of May, while beefing up surveillance of cyberspace to keep such hazardous content from minors.

only 180? that’s not going to stop the porn!
i’m curious though - are they only going to block foreign porn sites - and allow Korean ones to remain?

i think what they (MIC) mean is that they’re going to make it impossible to access (from Korea) those 180 foreign porn sites that have been identified as containing “obscene” contents. “Obscene sexual adult contents” - violent, perverted, hardcore … vague, yeah - are illegal in Korea anyway…
