South Korea Twitter Ban During Elections Overturned
South Korean lawmakers have overturned a ban on Twitter during elections, opening up the network to politicians who want to get their campaign messages out to tweeting citizens.
According to Yonhap News, this April election will mark the first time in South Korean history that candidates will be able to reach out to voters electronically, up until voting day.
The Constitutional Court ruled 6-2 today that banning Twitter was unconstitutional and infringed on freedom of expression.
