South Koreans to be Punished for Tweeting with the North
Government officials from South Korea have warned that their citizens will face punishment if they are caught engaging with anyone from North Korea on Twitter. This statement came in response to the recent North Korean bombing of the South Korean Yeonpyeong island late November.
The Hindustan Times reports that Seoul officials have banned any interactions with North Korea on Twitter, threatening punishment if citizens are caught replying or retweeting North Korean content.
Specifically, the Justice Ministry has forbidden forwarding the North’s tweets to others or commenting on its tweets via “reply” or “retweet” actions.
