Media Monday: Well, Korea, That's Disappointing...

I would expect these kinds of shenanigans from North Korea, but SoKo, this is just disappointing...not to mention very upsetting.

This article reports that, potentially, the Kakao Talk chat app (which I use and love, btw) is being screened for negative comments about President Park Geun-Hye, particularly her handling of the Sewol Ferry incident back in April...and, potentially, prosecuting people for their comments.  This upsetting for so many reasons: invasion of privacy, limitations of free-speech, and so on.
