In addition, when the Democratic Party came up with six media-related measures to promote the media, the opposition party started protesting against it, saying it was a media control law.
The most controversial bill is the amendment to the information and communication method known as the so-called’punitive damages’ system, which led the court to decide to compensate users who suffered damage by producing and distributing false online posts up to three times the amount of damage. However, the Democratic Party has stated that the media is not included in the’users’ indicated by the new provisions here.
Noh Woong-rae, the leader of the media media coexistence TF in the party, and the Democratic Party’s highest committee member, said at the Supreme Council’s meeting held in the meeting room of the National Assembly Party representative on the morning of the 5th, “The media-related law that the National Assembly intends to promote in February has led the opposition party leader and the non-delegation chairman to tame the media. I was gagged and actually misled me,” he said. “I am really curious if they are talking about the contents of the bill.” Commissioner Roh said, “Quick relief for damage caused by the media, nothing more or less,” over the promotion bill. “Introducing the right to block access to malicious and false slander Internet articles, and to blindly deal with malicious comments. “It is to increase awareness of misinformation by making it 1/2 size.” He also said that the political information should not be made enlightened anymore.
In particular, Roh said, “To prevent harm caused by fake news spreading in one-person media such as YouTube, we will be able to claim a punitive damage compensation system.” It is a law that guarantees fairness through the media suppression law, not the victim media public welfare bill.” Roh said, “It is a law that guarantees human rights rather than suppression of freedom of expression.” “The Democratic Party will make sure that there are no more good damage caused by fake news and bad news through the rapid passage of the media damage relief law.”
In a back briefing after the meeting, Roh said, “It is a media-related damage relief law and a public welfare law, but it is not to punish and sanction fake news targeting the media.” “How many people are unfair (by fake news)? Even 80-90% of single-person media are fake news. “We want to minimize fake news overflowing with garages by making punitive damages compensation.” Commissioner Roh said, “There is the Yoon Young-chan law, and the Yang Ki University lawmaker’s law is to block comments and deliberate on the media dispute committee within the National Guard.” But it can be blocked up to 90% through legal amendment.” He said, “What does the bill to remedy the common people’s resentment and victims have to do with media oppression or gagging?” He said, “I did it in terms of changing the media landscape so that political information can be provided on the same page, size, and time ( Press repression) That’s enough to make you laugh.”
Regarding the prospect of passing the National Assembly in February, Roh said, “We are aiming for the passage of the National Assembly in February.” “The quickness of the damage relief system is the key, making it an effective law, and YouTube is the target of punitive damages. It wasn’t for the purpose of,” he repeatedly emphasized.
However, the opposition party disapproved of this explanation. Lee Jong-bae, chairman of the People’s Power Policy Committee, heard the remarks of Lee Nak-yeon two days ago at the Emergency Countermeasure Committee, saying, “I will implement media reform without a hitch”, “In the light of the precedent of reform, the pattern of prosecution reform and judicial reform is reform and intimidation is the target of this threat. Is a signal of the media,” he criticized, saying, “If you look at the Democratic Party’s bill, it is a self-proclaimed media reform bill, but its content is only a blatant media control law.” Chairman Lee said, “There is no media reform, and all the focus is on simply disregarding press freedom and curbing criticism of the regime. Now that the Democratic Party’s semantic law has taken over the prosecution and the judiciary, it is a shame that the Democratic Party will not be harsh if only the press is taken over. Norimsu” insisted.
Chairman Lee interpreted that, “Moreover, it is only a trick to spur pressure on the media ahead of the re-election and to promote the press for an advantageous phase in the election,” and “the people are seeing through such thin tricks of the Democratic Party.” did. Chairman Lee criticized “The Democratic Party’s behavior is disillusioned over the people’s fatigue,” and criticized “Face that the Democratic Party, the real target of reform, will not be left as it is unless we stop the fear disguised as Democratic Party reform.”
