Country: South Korea

Company internal web censorship and monitoring

Safari could not open the page “http://trendpiraten.tv/” because the server is not responding.
Bullshit it is not the server it is you! Company!
That’s it I am angry. Hi my name is Felix and I am one of the blog owners. As you maybe already read in the about section. I am living and working in Korea at the moment. It is not enough that the Korean government is blocking several web pages, no even my company is blocking all kind of web content. It is ridiculous. Today I wanted to visit a German iptv newspage (trendpiraten.tv).
There is no content that could be some kind of kinky or political. Hmm, maybe it’s the word “pirate” that makes this webpage worth to block it.
I am working in an ad agency, which is part of a big Korean consumer electronic manufacture. Our IT that is sitting in the basement (where else) is monitoring all the web traffic and the email from over 700 People in this building. They follow the strategy block every page they don’t know. But nobody seams to care about this total censorship. This is one of my personal reasons to run this blog. If you have similar experiences in you country please share your story with us.
