1 | Is South Korea Encouraging Portal Sites to Self-Censor? | Mandrisika Ireo Vavahadin-tserasera Lehibe Hifehy ny Vavany Ve i Korea Atsimo? |
2 | The South Korean government has announced plans to allow large portal sites to censor or delete user comments that are deemed libelous, a move that Korean web users fear will restrict freedom of expression online. | Nanambara ny fikasany hanome alalana ireo vavahadin-tserasera lehibe hanao sivana sy hamafa ireo fanehoan-kevitry ny mpiserasera izay azo tsaraina ho manala baraka ny governemanta Koreana tatsimo, fihetsika ahiahian'ireo mpiserasera Koreana mety hametra ny fahalalaham-pitenana an-tserasera izany. |
3 | The South Korean Communications Commission held a conference this week proposing regulations [ko] that give popular portal sites the power to make user comments invisible especially those considered libelous, for 30 days. | Nanatontosa valandresaka ny Vaomieran'ny Serasera Ao Korea Atsimo tamin'ity herinandro ity mba hampahafantarany ny fitsipika vaovao [ko] manome fahefana ireo vavahadin-tserasera lehibe hamafa ny fanehoan-kevitr'ireo mpiserasera ao anatin'ny 30 andro, indrindra ireo fanehoan-kevitra azo heverina ho manala baraka. |
4 | If no active measures, such as the concerned user filing a complaint, are taken during that period of time, the sites can delete the comment. | Raha tsy misy fepetra raisina ao anatin'izany fe-potoana izany, tahaka ny fitarainana apetraky ny mpiserasera lasibatra, afaka mamafa ilay fanehoan-kevitra ny habaka (tranonkala). |
5 | Authorities claim that the regulation will lessen the burden of portal sites by reducing the number of defamation cases they face because of their users' comments. | Nanambara ny manampahefana fa hanamaivana ny enta-mavesatr'ireo vavahadin-tserasera ny fitsipika amin'ny alalan'ny fampihenana ireo tranga fanalam-baraka maromaro avy amin'ny fanehoan-kevitr'ireo mpiserasera. |
6 | However, critics question whether it is justifiable to allow the portal site to decide whether a comment is libelous or not- a tough judgement call even for legal professionals. | Na dia izany aza, manontany ireo mpitsikera raha azo amarinana ny fanomezan-dalana ny vavahadin-tserasera hanapa-kevitra na manala-baraka na tsia ny fanehoan-kevitra - fitsarana sarotra na dia ho an'ny mpahay lalàna matihanina aza. |

10 | Local media pointed out [ko] that the authorities assured the web portals that there will be clauses included that minimize their legal liability in case of a lawsuit- so portals will remain unscathed as long as they show they have censored or deleted the comments. | Nanipika [ko] ny fampahalalam-baovao ao an-toerana fa manome antoka ireo vavahadin-tserasera ny manampahefana fa hisy ny fifanekena hanao izay hampihenana araka izay azo atao ny andraikitra ara-pitsarana raha misy ny fitoriana azy ireo- ka ho afaka madiodio mora foana ireo vavahadin-tserasera raha mampiseho fa efa nanivana na namafa fanehoan-kevitra. |
11 | However, opponents say the measures will promote self-censorship and political powers could abuse this bill to pressure portals to silence the opposition. | Na dia izany aza, nilaza ny mpanohitra fa hampiroborobo ny fifehezambava izany fitsipika izany ary afaka hanararaotra ity volavolan-dalàna ity ireo mpitondra mba hanerena ireo habaka hampangina ny mpanohitra. |
12 | Net users in well-known, active community sites such as TodayHumor [ko] and Ppompuu [ko] exchanged heated discussions regarding the proposed regulation and the recent trend of South Korean authorities proposing multiple bills restricting online activities, such as a bill that would regulate online gaming like drugs and alcohol, and another that would limit hours of smartphone usage [ko]. | Mafàna ny adihevitr'ireo mpiserasera teny anivon'ny habaka mavitrika malaza tahaka ny TodayHumor [ko] sy ny Ppompuu [ko] mikasika ity volavolan-dalàna ity sy ny fikasan'ny mpitondra Koreana Tatsimo tato ho ato hanolotra volavolan-dalàna maromaro hifehezana ny zavatra azo atao ao amin'ny aterineto, tahaka ny volavolan-dalàna hametrahana lalàna momba ny lalao antserasera ho tahaka ny rongony sy ny alikaola, sy ny sisa hafa mety hamehy ny ora fampiasàna finday raitra smartphone [ko]. |
13 | Net user ID: 껄껄 explained [ko] on TodayHumor site: | Mpiserasera ID: 껄껄 nanazava [ko] tao amin'ny habaky ny TodayHumor: |
14 | BEFORE: Politicians request portals to delete AFTER: Politicians don't need to request. | TALOHA: Mangataka amin'ireo vavahadin-tserasera ny mpanao politika mba hamafa TATY AORIANA: Tsy mila mangataka ny mpanao politika. |
15 | But portals go ahead and delete anyway. | Fa hanolo-tena ny vavahadin-tserasera ary hamafa. |
16 | This regulation means to use portals as a shield that they can hide behind them. | Midika ity fitsipika ity fa ampiasaina toy ny ampinga ny vavahadin-tserasera ka azon'izy ireo hiafenana. |
17 | It also intends to be, I gave you the power [to delete], so in return you voluntarily submit to me. | Te-hiseho koa izy fa, nomeko fahefana [hamafa] ianao, ka ho solon'izany, hanaiky ahy an-tsitrapo ianao. |
18 | Here is the first talking point: Libel is such a complicated case [to determine]. | Ity ny resaka voalohany tamin'ny adihevitra: raharaha sarotra ny fanalam-baraka [raha faritana]. |
19 | Will portal sites be able to make an objective judgment? | Mahavita manao fitsarana tsy mitanila ve ireo vavahadin-tserasera? |
20 | Second talking point: They say that ‘when clarity and impartiality are maintained, it will not be a problem'. | Adihevitra faharoa: Hoy izy ireo «raha voahazona ny mangaraharaha sy ny tsy fitanilàna, tsy ho olana izany». |
21 | In other words, it can be understood as, ‘When clarity and impartiality are lost, there will be a serious problem'. | Amin'ny teny hafa, azo raisina koa hoe «Raha very ny mangarahara sy ny tsy fitanilàna, hisy ny olana goavana». |
22 | Will an ordinary company [such as portal sites] be able to make the right judgments on legal issues such as libel, and is it within their area of expertise to make a final call? | Mahavita manao fitsarana marina mikasika ny olana ara-pitsarana tahaka ny fanalàm-baraka ve ny orinasa tsotra [tahaka ireo vavahadin-tserasera], ary ao anatin'ny fahefan'izy ireo ve ny hanapa-kevitra farany? |
23 | Below is a part of one discussion thread [ko] from Ppomppu site: | Ity ambany ity ny lohahevitra niadian-kevitra tao amin'ny habaka Ppmpu: |
24 | It is highly likely that this rule will be abused. | Tena mety hohararaotina ity fitsipika ity. |
25 | Well, I would say they intend to abuse it, and I think it is just a plainly ridiculous bill […] It would be good if it really works the way [that they claim], but in reality, these sites will try to delete comments right away when they find them disagreeable […] Now people will go to site where they don't freely delete comments. | Eny, ny tiako lazaina dia hanararaotra izany izy ireo, ary mino aho fa volavolan-dalàna vendrana tokoa izy ity […] Mety ho tsara raha miasa tokoa araka ny tokony ho izy [izay no lazain-dry zareo], saingy raha ny zava-misy, hiezaka hamafa ireo fanehoan-kevitra avy hatrany ireo habaka raha hitany fa mahasosotra izany […] Ankehitriny, handeha ho eny amin'ireo habaka tsy maika hamafa fanehoan-kevitra ny olona. |
26 | Here are discussions from the South Korean Twittersphere: | Ity kosa adihevitra tao amin'ny tontolon'ny Twitter Koreana tatsimo. : |
27 | @Chocolete90: Do they really think it is possible to apply such regulation that could have only worked back in the 70s and 80s? | @Chocolete90: Mihevitra tokoa ve izy ireo fa azo ampiharina izany fitsipika izany izay tamin'ny taona 70 sy 80 ihany no nety? |
28 | Do they seriously think it is possible to regulate the Internet? | Mihevitra tokoa ve izy ireo fa azo ametrahana lalàna ny aterineto? |
29 | […] Such an anachronistic decision. | […] Fanapahan-kevitra diso andro. |
30 | @ehanb: The problem is that it is undeniably clear that they will leave comments that work in their favor. | @ehanb: Ny olana dia mazava tsara tsy azo lavina fa havelan'izy ireo ny fanehoan-kevitra metimety aminy. |
31 | @skjn_legon: For those authorities, the Internet is an unknown, dark and scary place. | @skjn_legon: Ho an'ireo manampahefana, toerana tsy fantatra, maizina sy mampatahotra ny aterineto. |
32 | So they want to rein it in while they are still in power. | Ka tian'izy ireo hanjakàna raha mbola eo amin'ny fahefana izy ireo. |
