1519: North Korean Censorship Feb 9, 2019

Watch the new video on censorship here.

In North Korea, there are huge limitations on what gets into the country, but in the age of the Internet, this also means a monitoring on what gets out. For instance, there are only 28 websites registered with the .kp handle, which means that Internet in North Korea not only can be easily regulated by the government, but basically all media is controlled to stop communication. As a result, both of Internet and of everything else in terms of isolation, there are many terms and other linguistic signals that are used in South Korea that North Koreans have reported not understanding. For more on censorship watch the new video.
