Internet Real Name System

     Online privacy and freedom of speech are still controversial. I don’t agree with internet real name service. People who agree with it assert that real name system helps to create a sound online environment. It means that people are reluctant to post malicious comments on websites. I think internet bullying problems could be prevented by applying a system which censors or filters some bad words when people write a comment on a website.
     One serious problem that internet real name system causes is data spill, leaking personal information. This problem has already happened several times. Korean tends not to take data spill serious, but it is a really serious thing. I think the Korean internet environment is quiet unique. We are required to provide excessive personal information when we join a website. Some people think there’s nothing wrong because they get used to it for a long time. However, as websites have personal information, it is more likely to be target by hackers. The result is what we’ve seen so far, Nonghyup and Nate problems.
     Furthermore, internet real name system infringes freedom of speech and freedom of expression. One major characteristic of the internet is anonymity. Compared to other countries like Libya, China, or North Korea, South Korea is really safe and don’t have many serious social problems. So Korean don’t realize the importance of internet anonymity. But in many countries, internet is playing important role to practicing social justice. And to do this, anonymity is really important to protect people.
     So, I think accept some run by government or banks, websites shouldn’t apply internet real name system.

  1. To use censors or filters to prevent the malicious comments are great, and as we know some sites use these kinds of devices for their sites, but despite of these tries, people find other ways to hurt other people by writing comments on the internet because they rely on the anonymity, I'm sure. So, we need stricter ways for preventing the evil behaviors like huge penalty or something.
