On the 8th, Korea’s Communications Commissioner Han Sang-hyuk said, “It can’t be done in a civilized society” about the controversial ‘digital prison’ by revealing personal information of people they have found to be suspects of Internet sex crimes.
President Han attended the National Assembly Committee on Science, Technology, Information, Broadcasting and Communication that day and was asked that “ a situation where college students made extreme decisions occurred because of digital prisons ” and said : “ Digital prisons are punished in private and the content itself is honorable. “It’s hurt,” he said. The Digital Prison is a site created by calling itself something of a ‘vigilante’ (自 警 團) in March after the Telegram sexual exploitation chat room incident, ‘Room n’.
President Han said: “Blocking or removing access (to digital prisons) is up to the deliberation of the Korea Communications Commission. Recently, three requests to block or remove access have been received and are being deliberated by the Security Council, “he said.” If you don’t have a corrective order, you can even (apply) a criminal provision. “When asked,” If we took immediate action in July when a similar problem occurred, we could have prevented the incident afterward, “he said.” There were limitations on the manpower and various aspects, “he said.” I will quickly find the sites in question and find a way to block access. Said.
Earlier on the 3rd, A (20), a prestigious private university student in Seoul, whose personal information was published in the digital prison, was found dead at his home in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. According to the complaint that Mr. A commissioned a ‘rape by an acquaintance’ (combining naked photos of other people in the face of an acquaintance) last July on Telegram, the photos and the schools were handed over to the digital prison and declared innocence .
Digital prisons were created with the intention of revealing to the private the identity of a person who has committed violent crimes such as murder or sex crime. It is operated in such a way that an anonymous management team reports, verifies and publishes the identity of a person suspected of sexual offense and is registered in the Russian domain (.ru). Digital prisons have been criticized as ‘private sanctions’ in the sense that they reveal personal information such as personal names and faces regardless of criminal punishment, while criticism has been raised that there is mistrust in state agencies such as the judiciary, which has generated controversy.
However, from 3:00 p.m. on that day, access to the digital penitentiary is not possible. It is not known whether the digital prison officials closed the site or for other reasons.
