North Korea Tech
Type of site
Technology analysis related to North Korea Available in English Country of origin United States Created by Martyn Williams URL www Launched 2010; 14 years ago (2010 ) Current status Active
North Korea Tech is a US-based blog authored by British journalist Martyn Williams which covers consumer electronics and technology developments in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea .[1] [2] [3] [4] Washington DC .[5] [6] [3] 38 North [7] [8]
Background [ edit ]
According to Williams, he was inspired to start the blog after a 15-year stint as a Tokyo -based correspondent for IDG News Service during which he observed the growing "wealth, knowledge and prosperity gap between North and South Korea." About his interest in the country, he said "North Korea appears today an even more difficult country to understand than the USSR ever was, thus my interest as a journalist."[6] [4]
The site has covered North Korean cell phones, satellites , internet domains, operating systems , missile technology, and online TV services.[1] [9] [3] [4] [10] Agence France-Presse ,[11] Vice Magazine [12] TechCrunch .[13] Yonhap and The Dong-A Ilbo .[4]
North Korea Tech was the victim of a DDoS attack in early 2016.[14] Korea Communications Standards Commission (KCSC) due to alleged violations of South Korea's National Security Act , a law which bans "praising, sympathizing or cooperating with North Korea". Williams appealed the ban, saying the site "doesn't seek to glorify or support North Korea".[3] [4] Jillian York of the Electronic Frontier Foundation stated that "The blocking of North Korea Tech is, on face, an overbroad application of a law that in itself is in direct contrast to the principle of freedom of expression".[3] Human Rights Watch Asia called the block "harmful to rights and counter-productive".[15] Open Net Korea .[16] [17]
