Bamisin to overhaul rules to respond to online hate speech

The Broadcasting Media and Communications Review Committee (Bamisin) will begin overhauling systems to respond to online hate speech. At a forum in Seoul, Chairman Ko Kwang-heon said content mocking historical events and social pain is repeatedly spreading, raising concern, and that views discussed would be reflected in policy and institutional improvements. Experts urged limiting legal regulation to extreme hate speech with clear harm, with weaker cases addressed through education.
