Korea's July 7 Act: New online content law threatens free speech on live-streaming platforms

The July 7 Act introduces punitive damages for false information and mandates platform censorship, raising fears of over-censorship and self-censorship among BJs and fan communities on platforms like AfreecaTV and Twitch Korea. A new article captures real-time user reactions: threats of 'digital asylum,' VPN migration, and constitutional complaints, drawing parallels to the 2007 real-name verification system backlash. The law's vague standards and government-funded fact-checking continue to spark free speech concerns. This is a developing story with significant implications for the Korean live-streaming ecosystem.
