South Korea Bans Anonymous Posting On Popular Websites
,----[ Quote ]
| In response, Korea has now passed a law that requires anyone posting on a
| site that has over 100,000 unique visitors a day to reveal their real names
| and national ID (found via Michael Scott). This seems quite extreme. There
| are certainly pros and cons to allowing anonymous speech, but it seems to go
| overboard to outlaw it completely on any relatively popular site.

The World Wins South Korea for Firefox
,----[ Quote ]
| And if you're wondering why it matters anyway that the South Koreans should
| be able to use Firefox and other "non-standard" browsers - don't you just
| love that description? - it's because the country's users have some of the
| fastest broadband connections in the world; that means that new applications
| based on such connectivity may well emerge there first, so it's important
| that open source be available and viable for all kinds of uses.
