Stop Internet Censoring

You might’ve thought about copyright protection before. However, have you thought that it can lead to the infringement of your basic rights?

We have seen many attempts before to censor the internet under the pretext of copyright protection. And now, the Korean government is trying to enact a much stronger internet censoring rule.
If it passes the legislative body, a copyright protection agency may cut off access to websites that the agency views as copyright infringing.

The problem is that the proposed bill by the copyright protection agency holds the power to block website access.
Blocking can be implemented by an administrative decision without prior judicial review. Also, the proposed bill is very likely to violate the right to access, which is a citizen’s fundamental right in a digital environment. It also institutionalizes internet censorship and brings about a conflict with human rights such as freedom of expression and the right to science and culture.
The proposed blocking measure covers any information that can infringe any right protected under the Copyright Act.
