Almost every Korean site tries to force feed some malware rootkit from ahnlab or nprotect, this is even more disturbing when you note that ahnlab's founder is apparently part of the Korean government now

Though Korea did result in one of the funniest things I've ever seen: apparently a lot of Korean companies have a strong need to "hide their proprietary website's source code" by iframing their pages multiple layers deep and making every link javascript:GoToAboutUs() so the url doesn't show up, and then window.locationing it

Dr. Ahn even tried to run for president and likely to try again in the future.

Mention 'snowden' or 'privacy' and people won't bat an eye in Korea I bet. Pretty much same with most countries. People just don't seem to give a damn, the same old 'im not a criminal so I am okay with catching terrorists by spying and controlling the rest of the population'.
