The Constitutional Court ruled Thursday that a law requiring South Koreans to use their real names on Internet forums was unconstitutional, forcing the government to change the five-year-old regulation created to reduce anonymous criticism of politicians and celebrities.
韩国宪法法院周四裁定,要求韩国人须在网络论坛上使用真实姓名的法律违宪。这一结果将迫使韩国政府修改已经出台了五年之久、意在减少网民对政客和名人匿名批评的规定。
The court said the requirement amounts to prior censorship. It also said the law violated citizens' privacy, was technically difficult to enforce and was ineffective at stopping online criticism.
韩国宪法法院说,实名制的要求相当于事前审查。该法院还说,它侵犯了公民隐私,从技术上来说难以强制执行,也没有收到制止网络批评的效果。
The ruling came just three days after South Korea's Supreme Court recommended new penalties for people who spread false information online and on social media, such as Twitter, about politicians during an election campaign.
在宪法法院做出这一裁决之前三天,韩国最高法院还曾建议对那些在竞选期间在网上和推特(Twitter)等社交媒体上散播关于政治人物虚假信息的人处以新惩罚措施。
The seemingly conflicting actions reflect South Korea's twin status as a young democracy wrestling with limits and freedoms, and as one of the world's most technologically advanced countries.
