South Korean Government Blocks Porn Sites

Anonymous Coward writes: "Following the posting of a porn video on Yahoo! Korea widely used video sharing site, the South Korean government has decided to fight back against the spread of pornography on the internet. According to The Age : "The Ministry of Information and Communication already has blocked 211 foreign pornographic Web sites, mostly based in the United States, as well as all local porn sites. It plans to extend the crackdown to another 180 major foreign sites by May." Good luck with that one! Besides the waste of manpower and resources involved in blocking porn sites, there is something profoundly hilarious about this. The South Korean government is trying to plug the hole in the dam with its (sticky) finger. http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/biz/200703/kt20070 32620151011900.htm http://www.theage.com.au/news/Technology/South-Kor ea-widens-crackdown-on-foreign-pornography-Web-sit es/2007/03/26/1174761356172.html"
