- South Korea ‘fake news’ law triggers free speech, censorship fears
South Korea's revised 'fake news' law, part of the Information and Communications Network Act, will apply to online content such as YouTube videos, app reviews, and social media posts. The law imposes punitive damages on YouTubers with over 100,000 subscribers and high-traffic TikTok accounts for 'unlawful' content, affecting platforms like Naver, Kakao, Google, and others.
