Virtual Politics

Re: [Opinion] Internet Party Members

Korea is rapidly becoming a virtual society. Due to the complex stratification based on the Confucian code of age and status, people find unparalleled freedom on-line. This freedom is bought at the expense of real community and relationships, however. "Netizens" are free to spout off any absurd view and engage in mass cyber-campaigns, without ever having to worry about responsibilty for their actions. The Internet has become a virtual mob.
