A smuggled phone has revealed the extreme extent of North Korea's censorship under Kim Jong Un, where everything South Korean is banned, phones autocorrect words, internet access is blocked, and authorities secretly monitor users.
Everything South Korean is banned in Kim Jong Un’s North Korea, a country that enforces strict censorship across all forms of media to shield its citizens from the realities of the outside world. A mobile phone smuggled out of the country has now revealed fresh insights into how one of the world’s most extreme censorship regimes operates.
The surveillance and censorship methods range from autocorrection of certain South Korean words to routine data sharing with authorities, all while denying users access to the internet, according to a BBC report.
