Another concern about this incident is that this could happen to every
bit of contribution to the project. South Korean government had been
censoring any scribble on the web they think beneficial to North
Korea,[2] and for later on, anything they think "fraudulent" whenever
the state is in "threat," according to an exclusive report.[3]

Unfortunately, the days when anyone could post anything they liked on
the web, and eschew all responsibility, are fast coming to an end. Those
posting KP found that out some years ago, as did those uploading
copyright music, and films. Those that perpetuate libels are also being
called to account, as are those that post voyeuristic images of people
in the street. Laterly jokes, and hoaxes on twitter are getting people
arrested.
