 Images making fun of the late former President Roh Moo-Hyun in a search results page have been deleted. |
Junior Naver has removed some of its content, which was insulting former President Chun Doo-Hwan, from its search results. Those pages containing insults which were exposed in a search engine results page back on August 14, disappeared after AsiaToday's coverage.
Naver has removed all of the search results insulting former president from its portal service aimed at children, Junior Naver.
On August 14, AsiaToday reported that Naver has been showing defamatory and abusive search result pages about former presidents to its kid's portal service.
Five days later, Junior Naver provided much less information about former presidents, Chun Doo-Hwan and Roh Moo-Hyun in search results pages. When searched for 'Chun Doo-Hwan', the portal introduced him as former President.
 The late former President Roh Moo-Hyun was also introduced as one of former presidents. |
Previously, Naver generated controversy for showing inappropriate pages to young users without filtering. For instance, when users searched for 'Chun Doo-Hwan', Naver showed a post titled 'I want to beat up former President Chun Doo-Hwan' on 'Naver Jisik-in' service. When searched for Roh Moo-Hyun, Naver showed a caricature mask of him.
In particular, it was pointed out that it was inappropriate for Naver to allow children to face those pages containing sword words on former President Chun in particular.
