For those of you who don’t know, “Echo of Truth” was the channel of a North Korean girl, making vlog videos about her daily life in the DPRK. Since her channel started getting too popular, YouTube banned her multiple times. Now I find that even the WSJ had to attack her. I think this shows that Western Media is quite fragile and pathetic.
Serious question: So did she get special government approval to post to YouTube or is NK not as shut-in from the internet as westerners have been led to believe.
there was an interview with a young man from the DPRK conducted two years ago (i think? i can’t find it) and in it he was asked about the internet. he said as far as he knew, their government does not specifically block any sites but since their internet comes from china some sites are blocked
I’ve heard many versions about North Korean internet. That they have their own intranet. That they have full access to the internet but connection to western websites is very slow so most don’t use them. Honestly there is so much misinformation about the country that it’s hard to know for sure.
