Talks gain momentum on platform industry promotion bill in South Korea

Calls emerged in South Korea\'s National Assembly to foster the platform industry as a strategic sector in the AI era, not mainly as a regulatory target, as a draft Platform Industry Promotion Act was unveiled. A parliamentary startup group held a forum to assess the need for the bill and gather industry views. Speakers cited declining investment and big tech dominance of internet traffic, debated self-regulation and user protection, and discussed overlap with existing laws.
