South Korea

Country specific information on content we restricted based on local law.
Changelog
We restricted access in South Korea to over 750 items reported by the Korea Media Communications Standards Commission for regulated goods and alleged fraudulent financial services under the Network Act.

The remaining items were restricted under the Telecommunications Business Act for representing illegally filmed sexual content, etc. and for alleged violations of other local laws. A majority of the content restrictions under the Telecommunications Business Act were instances where we were obligated to automatically restrict content, at scale and in country, if the items matched the unique hash (digital fingerprints) reported to us by the Korea Media Communications Standards Commission, as per local law requirements.

For more details about the content we restricted under the Telecommunications Business Act, please see our annual Korea Transparency Report.

Additionally, we restricted access to over 900 items on Threads for alleged violation of local laws.
