,
, “The current Broadcast Communication Act broadly defines the subjects of communication review by the Broadcasting Communication Ethics Committee as ‘information designated by the President’s decree as necessary for the cultivation of sound communication ethics.’,
,
, “However, it has been pointed out that the clarity of the law is lacking and the subject of review may be excessively expanded as the Executive Order specifies the information designated by the President’s decree as ‘illegal information and harmful information to minors etc.’ as stipulated in Article 44-7 of the Information and Communications Network Act.”,
,
, “Through the revision bill, it is explained that the subject of broadcasting and communication review will be clearly defined by specifying in the law the ‘illegal information and harmful information to minors’ stipulated in the Presidential Decree.”,
,
, “In fact, during last year’s parliamentary audit by the National Assembly’s Science and Technology Committee, Chairman Lee Dong-gwan of the Broadcasting and Communications Committee mentioned the provision of ‘information designated by the President’s decree as necessary for the cultivation of sound communication ethics’ as the basis for Internet press reviews by the Broadcasting Ethics Committee.”,
,
, “Based on this provision, last October, former Chairman Lee Jun-wi prepared a report on ‘Progress and Legal Basis for Eradicating Fake News’ and reported it to the State Council, and Chairman Ryu Hee-rim established a ‘Fake News Review Center’ within the Broadcasting Ethics Committee.”,
,
, ‘Rep. Lee Hoon-ki emphasized, “The government has always expanded the subject of review through executive orders, and the Broadcasting and Communications Commission has used broadcasting and communication reviews as a means to serve the interests of the ruling regime.”‘, “By revising the bill, we have clearly defined the subject of review by the Broadcasting and Communications Commission in the law, clearly stipulating its duties, and ensuring that the Broadcasting and Communications Commission and the Broadcasting Ethics Committee cannot expand broadcasting and communication reviews as a means to protect the ruling regime.”‘,
