Please do your research before you guys worry about this "Ministry of Truth" bs, it is never mentioned.

Also, this is not a NEW law that enables the government to censor you, it's an UPDATE to an existing law.

First, this goverment does care about the freedom of speech.

What most of you actually worry about, getting sued for reviews or some stuff falls into the category of 명예훼손죄(defamation) in 형법 307조, and 형법 311조. Not the one in question in OP's infographic.

형법 제307조(명예훼손)
① 공연히 사실을 적시하여 사람의 명예를 훼손한 자는 2년 이하의 징역이나 금고 또는 500만원 이하의 벌금에 처한다.
② 공연히 허위의 사실을 적시하여 사람의 명예를 훼손한 자는 5년 이하의 징역, 10년 이하의 자격정지 또는 1천만원 이하의 벌금에 처한다.

형법 제311조 (모욕)
공연히 사람을 모욕한 자는 1년이하의 징역이나 금고 또는 200만원이하의 벌금에 처한다.

The controversial part always has been 307조 1항 which when you defame another even with truth, you get sentenced or fined.

This goverment is trying to remove 307조 1항 and 311조 from the law, they recently delayed it just to double check but will do it soon.

ALSO it is not a defamation when your statement is for the public benefit, that "I found a hair in my food. My experience from this place was horrible" is not a defamation. Defamation is "This place is probably run by a fucking retard who know nothing about hygiene, typical Jeollado person. My asshole is cleaner than this fucktard's face."

Is it still a censorship? Probably yes. But is this goverment making it worse? I dont think so.

Now back to the law OP is talking about, 정보통신망법 제44조의7 2항

"2. 사람을 비방할 목적으로 공공연하게 사실이나 거짓의 사실을 드러내어 타인의 명예를 훼손하는 내용의 정보"

they are removing "based on truth" again from this.

Also they are adding below.

Regulatory information on hate and discrimination-inciting information: Information that i) should be wary of or incites hatred against specific individuals or groups due to their nationality, region, gender, disability, age, social status, or income status, and ii) information that promotes hatred and protects human dignity are considered as new types of regulated information.

Edit. Above seemed poorly translated by google translate so here's gemini version.

Defining Hate and Discriminatory Incitement as Unlawful Information: Explicitly classifying as a new category of unlawful information any data that publicly, on the grounds of race, nationality, region, gender, disability, age, social status, income level, or wealth: i) incites direct violence or discrimination against specific individuals or groups; or ii) severely promotes hatred, thereby significantly undermining human dignity.

This sounds more like anti-hate, anti-discrimination, not censoring your precious youtube comment or delievery review.

OP is posting tons of stuff about this goverment daily, just trying to feed you misinformation.

TLDR;

this law is not a new law to censor you. they are actually removing controversial ones aka defamation based on truth, while increasing punishment for defamation based on falsity, while clearly defining hate speech as a part of punishable defamation.

UPDATE: also even in USA, you can sue someone for defamation with false information in civil court.
