The Korea Herald : The Nation's No.1 English Newspaper

What an interesting story. It mentions the infamous "dog poop girl" and another story about a girl who was forced to quit school because of anonymous postings on the school's Internet bulletin board. The place is South Korea, not the USA. The underlying issue is whether anonymous posting can be allowed or not. The way netizens in a culture where conformity is the rule in the social or real world act in anonymous cyberspace is upsetting the community. The meaness or harshness and sort of super-flaming that is found in their online postings might become a focus of legislation. Hmm. Interesting to compare with our culture where at least on the surface, we don't buy into conformity. The Korea Herald : The Nation's No.1 English Newspaper
