South Korea\'s Broadcasting Media and Communications Commission plans to upgrade its response system to false and manipulated information under a revised information network law. It will push to strengthen accountability for large platforms and seek to set up a transparency centre to support fact-checking. The commission also plans to introduce labelling for online AI-generated content and raise transparency around recommendation algorithms. It is reviewing measures to regulate youth SNS use and preparing pay-TV regulatory changes and other media policy steps.

South Korea\'s broadcast and telecommunications regulator designated eight companies as large information and communications service providers under the revised Network Act, including Naver, Kakao, Google, Meta, X and TikTok. The designated firms must set up systems to report and handle illegal or fabricated information and publish transparency reports twice a year. Officials said firms can submit explanations within a week, and the designation takes effect a week later if none is filed.
