Would I like to live in a draconian censorship?

The time of draconian censorship in our country has seized to exists, I’m sure many people would not like to return to that period of our history. It is unacceptable that countries such as Korea have draconian laws; the laws create too many restrictions on web users by challenging their anonymity.

In Korea some laws require that online visitors register their real name and national ID card number when visiting sites with more than 100 000 members. Imagine having to do this every time you go onto Google, Twitter, Facebook or YouTube. You would have to give out confidential information such as your ID number. That is simply not right; it is an invasion of your own privacy.

An IT news site Bloter.net had to suspend user comments because of the Korean system. This meant that people would not have the opportunity to express their opinions.

Here in South Africa we are used to having the freedom to express ourselves and I’m sure that many people wouldn’t like that right to be taken away from them. So let’s learn from countries like Korea and China and fight for our country to not move backward to draconian censorship.
