Korea's Anti-Anonymity Laws



http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2008/oct/09/news.internet

I saw a really interesting talk by a British guy studying in Korea about Korea's new law that forces users to enter their National ID number if they want to post something on a website that has over 10,000 hits per day.

Their reasoning given is supposedly to curb the "bad-manners" that anonymity creates.

Sites affected include Cyworld, korea's main social network, and Youtube, which has decided to stop Korean users uploading to avoid any complications.
