South Korea\'s Broadcasting Media Communication Deliberation Committee is taking follow-up steps after Google improperly provided information on digital sex crime victims, leading to disclosure on an outside organisation\'s website. The committee said it asked Google and the site to delete related posts and began an emergency review in cooperation with the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family. It also shared the case with international bodies and urged overseas platforms and Cloudflare to strengthen information protection systems.

South Korea confirmed that Google leaked to an external website information submitted by victims of digital sex crimes and support organisations seeking deletion of abusive content. The government said it is reviewing whether legal violations occurred and whether Google bears legal responsibility, separate from the company’s pledge to prevent a recurrence. Authorities blocked exposed information in stages and ordered emergency takedowns of related posts while widening checks into past leaks.
