Cyber-war on N. Korea and porn

And in more news from the “most wired nation on the planet,” the Defense Security Command has asked the Minstry of Information and Communication (MIC) to block 32 pro-North Korean websites [Korea Times]. Of course, the MIC might be a bit busy with its current war against foreign porn sites [Korea Times] in the wake of Yahoo Korea’s screwup [Chosun Ilbo, English].

    The ‘Defense Security Command’ should know that there are ways to get around it.

    But, on American blogs, I prefer commenting under a US flag. I do not want to be singled out as a German…

    I apparently was in the US, but flew back to Germany before I could hit enter. I must be Superman.

    I think we’ve made our point clear that this whole blocking of site was thought up by the government’s spindoctors. It’s computer experts wouldn’t attempt something so foolish.

    the Kovernment should probably also block peacefire.org

    Hmmm, wonder why the Korea Times published two articles on the same subject. I e-mailed Robert a link to a Korea Times article that said the Korean government will block foreign porn sites on Saturday, but the one Robert linked is dated this Monday. Strange…..

    mins,

    I think they are still trying to work out how I could be in Germany, Hongkong, and the US at the same time.

    Arghaeri,

    Shhhh, don’t give out the secret. I’m trying to patent the technology that makes it possible for the Tardis to have so many rooms in such a limited space.
