Most Asian countries are pretty authoritian by nature. Singapore is a prime example, tons of laws, very heavy handed.

Yeah it could be a cultural thing though - in our culture this kind of stuff is squarely up to the parents. I remember always BBS'ing from midnight because my daily connection time renewed at midnight :) As long as it didn't affect my school performance it was not a problem for my parents, and it was a handy time because they didn't make personal calls during the night so I didn't tie up the phone line for them. It would have been unthinkable that the government would decide I should be in bed at that time.
Perhaps the culture requires the country to take a stronger role in this, though embedding it into law feels very severe. Even in Europe a lot of this stuff that used to be up to the parents is being taken to central control. More and more countries are proposing laws for a website to verify the user is 18+. I don't like where this is going either. When I was living in Ireland my local provider "Three" routed all my mobile traffic through a super slow child-friendly filtering proxy and I had to ID myself in one of their stores to get past that. People were referring it as the "porn viewers register" and the people in the store were being weird about it, even though it blocked way more than porn sites (also random UDP connections for example so most VPNs didn't work) and it made internet access super slow and quirky.
Luckily the other mobile providers didn't have this boneheaded rule so I simply switched to Vodafone.

#14Wow this is such a fail. It tries to fix a security issue but creates a much bigger hole in the entire system.

It depends on what you consider oppressive. In terms of international freedom indices, South Korea is about as free as the United States of America (https://freedomhouse.org/countries/freedom-world/scores or https://rsf.org/en/index) or not far from it (https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/freedom-i...)
Of course this doesn't say much if you don't consider the USA to be a very free country but I'd reckon most of the world still does.

#17Is two-factor security an alien concept to South Korean banking system? At least via SMS? But either way if they're going to make everyone install an application, why not OTP generator?

Like Japan, it's a "one and a half party state"; while there are multiple parties and free elections, in practice one party wins a majority almost all the time and there's very little space for diverse viewpoints.

I consider lack of digital freedom quite oppressive, especially given "software eating the world" trend. The fact that they even can tell the age of person playing games during night time in the first place sounds quite sketchy to me (I guess I'm supposed to tie my gaming account to my real id?).

#20I am very grateful for the modern web. It used to be commonplace to install a bunch of executables that interacted with the browser and took instructions from random websites (Flash, Silverlight, Java applets). I have my reservations with the browserfication of software (and the restriction of browser extensions), but at the same time it is absolutely for the best that normal users just run sandboxed phone apps and b…
