They said the measure could be used to target politically inconvenient views and threaten online speech. South Korea has said the amendments protect citizens from illegal, manipulated false information.

South Korea\'s science panel sends protest letter over U.S. House \'Coupang report\'

South Korea’s parliamentary Science, ICT, Broadcasting and Communications Committee sent a protest letter to the U.S. House Judiciary Committee over a report that assessed a Coupang hearing as a case of discrimination against a U.S. company. The committee said the report largely reflected a specific company’s claims and did not sufficiently capture the hearing’s purpose and procedures. It said the joint hearing was legally held and addressed issues including data leaks and consumer protection.

U.S. House Judiciary panel report says South Korea discriminated against Coupang, breached trade deal

A U.S. House Judiciary Committee interim report says the South Korean government has repeatedly discriminated against U.S. company Coupang, Reuters reported on Wednesday. The committee said investigations increased sharply after a Coupang data breach case, calling it discriminatory toward U.S. and foreign companies and a direct violation of a recently concluded bilateral trade agreement. South Korea\'s foreign ministry called the report one-sided and rejected the discrimination claims.
