#152Korea is backwards in technology in every possible way. - For the longest time, you needed a windows computer to access any sort of government or banking service, and it's still the case for most services - Because of the reliance on crappy windows laptops, you see everyone who uses a laptop carries an external mouse around to places like coffee shops (bc their trackpads suck) - the de-facto document format are crapp…
I thought people fantasized about choebol revenge stories and romance... Never realized Korea had any kind of "futuristic" reputation.

> In fact, in Korea, Twitter (X) is looked down upon as something only crazy people use, and its image is not good. It's basically the same in many areas of the US. Social media use is very regional due to network effects.
Oh, really? That's interesting. I suppose that makes sense, since in the U.S., a single state is often larger than all of South Korea. Thanks for the good conversation. Sometimes the world is surprising in ways like this
Even within a single state and area of the US there are often many different groups living in completely different ways almost unaware of each other.

I agree with some of them. Others need much more nuance. > - External map providers were iced out of hte market until this past year This was a positive for literally every Korean resident and only a negative for Google shareholders and a few tourists who had to download a local maps app. Boohoo, politicians doing things benefiting their people. > - You need a phone number to sign up for literally anything. The reali…
I don't get the phone number thing - why is needing a $20 burner phone to post on a forum or blog a positive?

#155It’s just funny that I get to know about this sort of Korean policies in HN not from main media (I live in Korea).
I had a few chances to apply for government grants in a startup. There is a lot of blind money for new techs but people managing it are simply not competent enough to understand them. Also, like some comments mentioned, tech infra around their management system is often old and very insecure.

I’m Korean too, but people forget that the right wing has also enforced censorship. Personally, I think the Korean right wing cries out for freedom, but in reality their ideology is rooted in the anti-communist thought of the anti-communist liberal era. I myself have somewhat negative feelings toward communism, but the so-called 'right-wing' regime in Korea is really just nostalgia for dictatorship. The current Korea…
> the right wing has also enforced censorship Not familiar with Korean politics, but both left and right are immensely pro-censorship here in America. For the most part, the only thing that's saving us (at least so far) is that they can't agree on what to censor.
> but both left and right are immensely pro-censorship here in America
same with conservative vs liberal; its just not that simple with republicans typically associated with conservatism are on a revolutionary tear, whereas democrats are doing the rear-guard action trying to conserve the current system with small tweaks etc...

#160Something missing as cultural context is that deepfake, involuntary "porn", and all sorts of abuse of personal image, are a rampant and omnipresent problem in Korea. Many things are great here, but the sexual landscape when it comes to men versus women and kids, is nasty. You can't really apply a Western mindset to this without understanding just how messed up some of that stuff is. So whatever you think of the mecha…
The production and sale of pornography are illegal in South Korea. The South Korean government also strictly blocks access to pornography distributed from overseas. ISPs have implemented a DPI system similar to China’s to ensure internet censorship and blocking. Ultimately, the production and sharing of amateur pornography in South Korea is effectively being driven by the government, regardless of South Koreans’ moral standards.
