NKorea Said to Launch New E-Mail Service
2003-12-04
North Korea, an isolated country known for totalitarian control, has launched an international e-mail service that "guarantees the privacy of correspondence,"
Brahahahahahaha....
according to a government news report. The brief dispatch from the official Korean Central News Agency provided few details about the service, including how to subscribe. It is run by Pyongyang’s International Communications Center, according to its official Korean Central News Agency. North Korea keeps a tight lid on its 22 million people to shield them from outside influence.
such as democracy, freedom, prosperity, and little things like FOOD,
Few ordinary North Koreans are believed to have computer and e-mail access. TV sets and radios come with fixed channels so that people can only watch or listen to government-controlled media. But in recent years, North Korea has begun opening its electronic borders. In 2001, a China-based Web site opened the first commercial e-mail link to the communist country. Leader kimmie-boy Kim Jong Il is known as an Internet porn surfer. When then-U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright visited Pyongyang in 2000, Kim asked for her e-mail address.
Big Farking deal! Did he ever use it?
Sure he did. He's mailed her over 8,000 pictures of himself naked...
Kimmie-boy has often emphasized the importance of computer technology to enslave his starving millions. Foreign visitors can link their computers to the Internet through tapped and recorded international phone lines available in a few hotels in Pyongyang. An Internet cafe has also opened in the North Korean capital, recent visitors say.
Of course this does not say anyone but the highest party officials get access.
