Definition:The system which only allows Internet users to upload posts when their real name and resident registration number are confirmed.
On August 23, 2012, the Constitutional Court ruled unanimously that the real name requirement imposed on
big portal service providers by relevant statutes is unconstitutional, such
provision is in violation of the principle of less restrictive alternative and freedom
of speech of both users as well as ISPs in the cyberspace, and the
self-determination of personal information.
As a result, the so-called "Choi Jin-sil Law",
which was enacted in 2007 right after a celebrity's suicide caused by malicious
comments on the Internet bulletin board, is to be discarded. A
petition filed by "Internet Media Today," an online media company,
among others in 2010, claimed that the law was discriminatory.
Until now, Websites with more than 100 thousand visitors
per day required users to authenticate their identities by entering their
resident registration numbers when they used portals or other sites.
The Constitutional Court said, "The system does not
seem to have been beneficial to the public.
Despite the enforcement of the
system, the number of illegal or malicious postings online has not decreased.
Instead, users moved to foreign Websites and the system became discriminatory
against domestic operators. It also prevented foreigners who didn’t have a
resident registration number here from expressing their opinions online.
Practice
on South Korea
South Korea is the first country to put
the real-name system into practice. Since June 28, 2009, thirty-five Korean
websites have implemented a name-registration system pursuant to the newly
amended Information and Communications Network Act of Korea. It was enacted
after the suicide of Choi Jin-sil which was said to be related
to malicious comments about her on Internet bulletin boards. The new rule is
aimed at minimizing the amount of negative information to make netizens responsible for their behavior on the Internet.
South Koreans have been familiar with the real-name
system. Since the mid-1990s, doing real property transactions and financial
transactions must be performed under a real name following relevant laws. The
real-name system in real property transactions and financial transactions is
believed to contribute to the sound economic order of the nation.
The Constitutional Court said that the system does not seem to have been beneficial to the public. Despite the enforcement of the system, the number of illegal or malicious postings online has not decreased. Instead, users moved to foreign Websites and the system became discriminatory against domestic operators. It also prevented foreigners who didn’t have a resident registration number here from expressing their opinions online.
According to Yonhap News Agency, the public voice started to agree on the abolishment of a name-registration system because of the severe problem caused by information leakage. Now the official response from the administration is that they will supplement the certain regulations of personal information on the Internet.
인터넷 실명제가 실행되고 나서도 악플의 수는 그대로 였다. 오히려 악플은 1.7%줄이고 전체댓글은 68%나 줄이는 효과만 발휘 하였다. 또
이때문에 많은 사람들이 글을 쓰는 것을 꺼려하고 있다고 한다. <출처: 컴퓨터타임즈 2011.3.14>
