The Korea Communications Commission (KCC) has announced it will review regulations on social media platforms for teenagers. The review comes as there have been concerns that current regulations are not effectively protecting teenagers from self-harm content and cyberbullying on social networking services (SNS). KCC Chairman, Kim Chong-in, stated on the 8th that he will “review the matter of whether to regulate SNS operators to block self-harm content, such as deep cuts, and implement measures to protect teenagers.” Chairman Kim added, “We will also look into whether it is necessary to regulate the operators to delete or block cyberbullying posts.” Currently, SNS operators are only required to delete or block content that “clearly” encourages self-harm. However, as there have been cases where teenagers have been exposed to self-harm content that does not clearly encourage self-harm, such as photos of deep cuts, the need for strengthened regulations has been raised. In response, Chairman Kim stated, “We will review whether it is necessary to regulate content that does not clearly encourage self-harm, but may lead to copycat acts, such as deep cuts.” The KCC plans to hold a public hearing next month to collect opinions from experts and the public on the regulation of SNS operators. The KCC will then finalize its measures to regulate SNS operators and take action. Chairman Kim emphasized, “Protecting teenagers is the top priority for the KCC.”
