I generally agree with you but isn't the n Korean internet only used by the government and whatever rich people can afford it? I say fuck em.
Not trying to change your mind but if the general public has internet it's definitely just intranet. There's no way they're getting anything close to what we would recognize as the internet. Maybe I'm buying propaganda but I just can't fathom the possibility.
they aren't random people, NK users of the internet have explicit ties to scams and hacking. The rest never get to access the WWW.
No more than you are to assert the opposite, sir.

I might need to go back and find sources but I could have sworn I read a thing that had Kim directly saying that it isn't allowed among the general populace because it's full of US propaganda. Same reason why jeans aren't allowed.
Edit: I want to clarify that I would prefer the general populace had the internet so they could more easily educate themselves but AFAIK they don't.
Yes.
