“It can lead to innocent sacrifices. However, you also need to think about what the ‘digital prison’ wants to evoke. The average sentence for sexual assault in Korea was 5 years and 2 months for those under 13 and 3 years and 2 months for adults. In other developed countries, the United States is in prison for life, the United Kingdom is in prison for life for those under 13, and France is in prison for a minimum of 20 years. Our country needs to reflect once again on the generous punishment ”. (Commissioner Jin-sook Kang)

The Communications Deliberation Subcommittee of the Korea Communications Standards Commission (Korea Communications Commission Subcommittee, Park Sang-soo Subcommittee) held a meeting at the Broadcasting Center in Mok-dong, Seoul, on the afternoon of 14, and deliberated on whether it was necessary to ‘block access’ to the entire digital prison site. Does not apply’.

The schedule for blocking access to the site itself was decided as ‘None’. However, the Communications Commission of the Korea Communications Commission decided to “block access” to a total of 17 individual information, including 7 information on defamation and 10 personal information on sex offenders.

Three members of the deliberation committee (Kang Jin-sook, Shim Young-seop, and Lee Sang-ro committees) argued that “does not apply,” and two (Kim Jae-young subcommittee and Park Sang-soo subcommittee) insisted on block access. Members of the deliberation who argued that it “does not apply” said: “It is certainly a site that commits criminal acts,” but “it is a site that is recognized for its public interest. The whole site can be blocked when there is more than 75% harmful and illegal information on a site. “On the other hand, reviewers who insisted on ‘blocking access’ noted that” when an innocent victim occurs with a site feature, it is will cause damage that is difficult to recover. “

Commissioner Shim Young-seop said: “A college student died of a heart attack. It is true that some of the posts were false. I also agree that it violates public order itself. It’s different from the Bad Fathers site, which is crying out for child support costs to be resolved. It’s also different from opinion-oriented sites like Ilbe and Mega. There are certain sites that commit crimes. “

The judges said: “But you have to judge with principles. Of the 89 posts, 17 are the problem. There is an aspect of getting a public benefit by leaving it alone rather than blocking the entire site. It’s okay to let the site work. “It is appropriate to individually deliberate on defamation messages from parties and those that violate the principles of disclosure of personal information about sex offenders.”

Commissioner Kang Jin-sook said, “Although the charge goes beyond the public legal system, it can lead to innocent personal sacrifice through a private trial.” “17 of the 89 cases are in doubt. It does not have a corresponding violation of 75%. Shutting down and blocking the entire site is concerned about over-regulation. Another site can be opened. Blocking is not the ultimate solution. “As mentioned above, the commissioner also said,” It is not appropriate to block access to the entire site. We have to deliberate on individual cases. “

On the other hand, Commissioner Kim Jae-young said: “I was only judged that the digital prison was a site that started for the purpose of the public interest. However, looking at the site, I felt ambivalent. It may be a regrettable place that has disappeared like this, according to the position expressed by the management team of the 2nd stage. However, good intentions do not lead to good results. No matter how good it is, the method should not be illegal. The site provides information on violent criminals, so when an innocent victim occurs, damage occurs that is difficult to recover.

Commissioner Kim said: “The proportion of illegal information is negligible to block access to the entire site, but if the intended damage occurs, the damage is too great. With that in mind, it seems appropriate to block access. “

Commissioner Sangsoo Park also said: “The situation is dire. A college student named on this site died and fake content about a college professor was uploaded. The martial arts YouTuber had the same name, but uploaded it incorrectly. “The digital prison is not an official site but a private site. This site denies the role of our judiciary. Taking that into account, this site should somehow be blocked. “

On the 10th, the communication subcommittee of the Korea Communications Standards Commission decided to make a decision on the site of the digital prison in a meeting. This is because the digital prison site has not been accessed since the 8th. However, after the officials of the second phase of the digital prison announced that they would resume the operation of the site on the 11th, it began to access the site. On the 14th, the Korea Communications Standards Commission announced that it would urgently deliberate on the digital prison agenda.
