Meeting with Ministry of Gender Equality, Naver, Google, etc. to respond to digital sex crimes

The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family announced on the 12th that it would hold a meeting with major domestic and foreign platform operators to discuss ways to strengthen cooperation to protect victims of digital sex crimes and delete or block damaging videos.

This meeting was organized in response to the leak of personal information of victims of digital sex crimes that occurred on an overseas research project site collaborating with Google, and participation includes Naver, Kakao, Nate, DC Inside, Google, Meta, TikTok, and X.

They plan to focus on ▲ strengthening the collection and management of information requested for deletion, ▲ preventing the use and sharing of information beyond its intended purpose, ▲ minimal collection and processing of sensitive information, and ▲ establishing a response system for prompt notification and deletion/blocking in the event of an emergency.

Minister of Gender Equality Won Min-kyung said, "Rather than viewing this case as a problem unique to a specific platform, all platforms should use it as an opportunity to inspect their information management systems and strengthen victim protection. We will communicate closely with platform operators and inspect the deletion support system."
