The Point of This Page?[edit]

Isn't this page just a convenient way for pro-North Korean groups to advertise? What is the point of this list? Perhaps the page can be modified to include "information sources" banned in BOTH parts of Korea. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.10.88.37 (talk) 15:17, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I re-Removed links[edit]

I removed these links, following Zim's lead, [1] With a cursory glance, the webpage does not seem to bear out that these pages are blocked by south korea. I maybe wrong.Ikip (talk) 15:59, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, the links were removed in December 2008 per WP:EL. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 16:06, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

KCSC Warning Webpage[edit]

File_talk:KCSC-Warning.png I uploaded a screen shot of a warning web page served by a government agency in South Korea. It's shown when people try to access illegal web sites, such as the North Korean twitter page. I think it's appropriate for this page. I don't know what the copyright status is for a government message, though. I'll add it to the article if nobody objects here. OhSqueezy (talk) 15:24, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can't seem to fit this image w/o making the page look cluttered, I'll try again if the content expands. OhSqueezy (talk) 04:11, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

More information on the actual South Korean censorship that doesn't involve North Korea?[edit]

South Korea's censorship isn't only about North Korea, in fact it's only rarely about North Korea. There should be more information about the censorship in TV/Radio and music, like the "청소년 유해 매체" and 방송통신심의위원회. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.150.44.27 (talk) 22:24, 28 December 2010‎

Proposal for Improving this Article[edit]

This article would be improved by adding more historical information as background as well as better organized summaries of the actions of the Government of South Korea towards censorship of each form of media. Currently, each section exists mostly as a list of examples rather than a cohesive explanation and description of the strategies and rules for the media form. While references do exist, they are mostly news reports of specific instances rather than citations for an overview of the rules and strategies.

I've compiled a bibliography of some sources I've found on the subject.
