Korea media-communications watchdog steps up tracking of \'Newtoki,\' tightens CDN blocking, deletes Telegram channels
South Korea\'s Broadcast Media Communications Review Committee said it will strengthen international cooperation with Telegram and step up direct blocking of content delivery network (CDN) operators to curb the spread of pirate webtoon sites such as \'Newtoki\' and related copycat sites. The committee said it issued correction requests for 7,342 cases of illegal copyright-infringing information over about three months, including 2,200 alternative sites. It also plans to introduce electronic reviews in the second half to speed up screening and blocking.
