Pres. Lee pointed out, 'There's clearly fake news running wild on YouTube, news article comments, and communities.' He continued, 'While some cases are just individuals doing it impulsively, it looks like sometimes it's systematic and organized, spread with clear intent.' He added, 'You can practically see the suspicious signs—like 2 or 3 specific articles on one portal getting a concentrated flood of 'agree' comments, making you wonder if macros or mechanical means are being mobilized. Are you investigating those areas?' Pres. Lee noted, 'If you approach it from the perspective of 'fake news,' there might be debates like 'Is this defamation? Why are we investigating this?' But using technology to manipulate portal rankings isn't defamation; it's obstruction of business.'
Totally obstruction of business. You can see people trying to manipulate public opinion everywhere, not just in politics. We absolutely need to tackle this issue properly.
"We can literally see the bots and the mass coordinated comments. Shut down the comment sections (Naver, we're looking at you) and catch these influence operations! It's not just fake news; it's straight-up obstructing business."
