that's an order I would break; to do that goes against the principles of the internet.
I suppose I'm not getting hired any time soon.
yea, I'm not 'obedient' enough... I have principles like open internet, shared culture, freedom, and so on.
what's worse, I feel for Korean culture, split in half by AmeriRussian "interactions".
- butt____hugger 4y agoNorth Korea has a LOT of sanctions against them, if you provide them services you could go to prison.
- bastardoperator 4y agoIt's not an order, embargo laws exist in every modern country. Doing business in embargoed countries just means prison time and fines. I don't know if you realize this, but almost nobody in NK has internet...
- anonymouskimmer 4y agoBut internet principles say that government intelligence services and e-privateers should have access to every port!

- livelielife 4y agoWHEN THE LAW IS CORRUPT, TO BREAK IT IS JUSTICE
- anonymouskimmer 4y agoRevoking or reforming a corrupt law is justice. Breaking it is individual privilege.
- junofan 4y agoReally? Lots of privileged homeless people these days.
- anonymouskimmer 4y agoYep. And lots of homeless people who are even worse off, because they didn't break the law.

Governments may even praise a revolution - especially the ones that brought them to power, - yet they would always make sure that any future revolution is illegal.)
- anonymouskimmer 4y ago> I feel for Korean culture, split in half by AmeriRussian "interactions". Germany reunified. Korea might have as well had it not been for North Korea's invasion of South Korea, and China's support of North Korea as a buffer zone. And why no blame for Japan? And what "internet principles" are you writing about? Everyone can access everything? This hasn't ever been the case. There have always been access controls.
