The Internet's Invasion Of Privacy - Korea's Case

Keeryong, interesting paper. I also thought that the "violence" in criticizing Ms. Lee may have gone to that extent because the internet allows us to criticize someone anonymously. For instance, Mr. X can create a website that does not identify oneself to criticize Ms. Lee and disclose all that information about her. Since Mr. X does not have to face the consequences of disclosing information about Ms. Lee (unless people take notice of Mr. X and hunt down private information about him using his IP address and such). I think this anonymity contributes to the virulence of internet-based campaigns to destroy individuals in society.
