    Do you feel that South Korea is continuing down a slippery slope of having
    theier freedom of speech curtailed more and and more with the passage of the
    Fake News law, and "comfort women" laws?

    The bad thing about the fake news law, is that it makes the courts and
    government as the sole arbitrator of who gets to define what is and what is
    not fake news.

    With the addition of the "Comfort Women" act, anyone stepping outside or
    even questioning the governments narritive of history is guilty of a criminal
    act.

    Korea has a long history of controlling its narritive, and restricting what
    other countries consider free speech and expression under the quise of the
    privacy and social order with broad laws that could end up trapping anyone.
    It seems to be getting worse instead of better.
