Largely agree with this, but this > do not have access to Korean data > safeguard PII of its citizens Is incredibly ironic on a post "I found a 1-click exploit in South Korea's biggest mobile chat app". Zerodium pays $1 million for a WhatsApp (the Western equivalent of Kakaotalk) one-click exploits. As a consequence, any new exploits must be incredibly involved, else they'll already have been cashed in (and patched after being reported/exploited). Whereas this Kakaotalk exploit is trivial. Americans share their PII with the FAANGs, us in Korea share it with the entire world because, as this article shows, security is absolutely atrocious.
