Korea is not authoritarian but a democracy - this is ok

  I've never heard around here that spying is good when a democracy does it. It may be better than when authoritarian countries do it because the consequences are not that severe, but that's far from accepting it.

    Spying is never ok as what is acceptable today may not be tomorrow, a moving target regardless of the current government.

    I may be wrong but I read the GP as sarcasm.

  Bad take. If anything, it reveals just how many things are not up for voting in our democracy - because people will definitely vote down spyware whose obvious target is us.

  So lets ignore the government part of this. Anyone can create a webpage that collects this information, which means that a non government hacker (or another government like N. Korea or China) can setup online services that people from South Korea wants to access. They can then use this collected information to impersonate the S. Korean person.

    What government part ? Aren't these mostly (?) privately/publicly owned banks ?
