Research 1 :10/23 What is real-name system?

1) Sources :
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-name_system
    http://terms.naver.com/entry.nhn?docId=1222575&cid=40942&categoryId=32854

2) My Topic :
    Real-name system is a system that once exerted in Korea to reduce cyber                 problems by forcing internet- users to certify their real identities.


3) What I hope to learn from this source:
I hope these sources can make me know accurately about what the real-name system is.




4) Notes :

 1. A real-name system is a system in which when a user who wants to register an         account on a blog, website or bulletin board system, is required to offer                     identification credentials(Credential is a kind of personal information) including           their legal name to the network service centre.

 2. Korea had exerted this system before. This system had been first specified in <Public Election and Election Malpractice Prevention Act>.

 3. South Korea was the first country that implemented this system.
 
4. Since June 28, 2009, thirty-five Korean websites have implemented a name-registration system pursuant to the newly amended Information and Communications Network Act of Korea.
   5. The Information and Communications Network Act was enacted after the suicide of Choi Jin-si
l which was said to be related to malicious comments about her on Internet bulletin boards.
  
6. As a result, the so-called "Choi Jin-sil Law", under the deceased celebrity's name, is to be discarded. Until then, websites with more than 100 thousand visitors per day required users to authenticate their identities by entering their ID numbers when they used portals or other sites.
  
7. On August 23, 2012, however, the Constitutional Court of Korea ruled unanimously that the real-name requirements imposed on big portal service providers by a relevant law[2] is unconstitutional, citing such provision's violation of freedom of speech in cyberspace.

 The Constitutional Court said,
The system does not seem to have been beneficial to the public. Despite the enforcement of the system, the number of illegal or malicious postings online has not decreased. Instead, users moved to foreign Websites and the system became discriminatory against domestic operators. It also prevented foreigners who didn’t have a resident registration number here from expressing their opinions online.

Final Thoughts : These sources are just objective sources that show what the real-name system is. On the next research, I will focus on negative aspects of real-name system.
