Kuzey Kore Instagram’a erişimi engelledi

Dünyanın en kapalı ülkesi olarak nitelenen Kuzey Kore, gazetecilerin ve yabancıların ülkedeki yaşamı belgeleme konusunda en sık faydalandığı araçlardan biri olan Instagram ’ı engelledi. Associated Press ’in haberine göre, mobil operatör Koryolink ’in 3G bağlantısıyla Instagram ’ı açanlar ”Dikkat! Kara listede olduğu için bu siteye erişemezsiniz.” şeklinde bir ibareyle karşılaşıyor. Bu uyarıya eşlik eden Korece metinde sitenin ”zararlı içerik” barındırdığı bilgisi de yer alıyor.

Associated Press ’in haberinde Instagram ’ın uyarıya rağmen bazı mobil cihazlarda kullanılabildiği, ancak çoğu kişinin Instagram üzerinden fotoğraf paylaşımı veya profil görüntülemesi belirtildi. Instagram ’a masaüstünden erişmeye çalışanlar da aynı uyarıyla karşılaşıyor.

Instagram ’ın Kuzey Kore tarafından neden kara listeye alındığı şu an için bilinmiyor. Hem Kuzey Kore yönetimi hem de ülkenin tek mobil operatörü Koryolink, konuya ilişkin bir açıklama yapmış değil. Ancak engelleme nedeni olarak akla gelen ilk ihtimal, Pyongyang ’da kısa bir süre önce gerçekleşen otel yangınına ait görüntülerin sosyal medya üzerinden yayılması oluyor.

Instagram, ”kapalı kutu” olarak nitelenen Kuzey Kore ’nin üstündeki gizem perdesinin biraz olsun aralanmasında önemli bir rol oynamıştı. Son yıllarda tur rehberleri, gazeteciler ve diğer Instagram kullanıcıları tarafından paylaşılan fotoğraflar, dünyanın geri kalanının Kim Jong-un ’un diktası altındaki ülkedeki yaşama dair fikir edinmesini sağlamıştı.

Now the www.TechDracula.com is the biggest website of the North Korea and the internet connection in the N.Korea is in upward trend. The website is mainly accessed by the Indians, Americans and other foreigners who residing in the North Korea using the 3G mobile Internet service offered by Koryolink mobile network which has over 1 million North Korean subscribers.

North Korea's isolated "hermit kingdom" has finally manufactured its first home-grown smartphone—or has it? An expert on North Korean technology says the new smartphone was probably made in China and shipped to a North Korean factory for display.

Recent photos have shown Kim Jong Un, North Korea's leader, inspecting the "Arirang" phone named after a popular Korean folk song. The new phone apparently runs on Google's Android operating system and has a built-in camera, according to BBC News.

But the handset's lineage is probably Chinese rather than Korean, says Martyn Williams, owner of the website North Korean Tech. Williams pointed out how the photos of Kim Jong Un's visit to the factory in the capital Pyongyang only show workers inspecting the new phones rather than performing any manufacturing activities.

Williams previously showed how North Korea's "homemade" tablet, called the Samjiyon, actually originated from a Hong Kong manufacturer. (Still, North Korea's supposed technical expertise isn't all a lie—the country seems to have a small but growing IT industry that accepts foreign contracts.)

The new Arirang phone will likely serve customers of North Korea's Koryolink domestic mobile phone service, operated by the Egyptian firm Orascom. The Egyptian telecom claimed to provide service to over 600 000 North Koreans as of June 2011.

Koryolink customers face a number of limitations, according to a 2012 report titled "A Quiet Opening." All calls are monitored by North Korean authorities, and Koryolink phones cannot make international calls or access the Internet.

However, many North Koreans living near the Chinese border have used illegal Chinese phones to make international calls to friends, relatives or business partners. Such phone calls on the illegal phones have allowed North Koreans to conduct black market trade, ask for foreign money transfers, find out the latest international news, and even plan defections.

This week, tourists (and at least one reporter) visiting North Korea began accessing the web directly from their smartphones, through the country’s Koryolink 3G network. Associated Press journalist Jean H. Lee has been tweeting from Pyongyang since Monday, though she didn’t get around to detailing the service until yesterday. Her tweet, “Hello world from comms center in #Pyongyang,” is believed to be the first to come through the new wireless data service, which can be activated for the princely sum of €75 (about $100). From there, data rates range from €150 for 2GB to …

"Cracking the door open slightly to wider Internet use, the government will allow a company called Koryolink to give foreigners access to 3G mobile Internet service by next Friday, according to The Associated Press, which has a bureau in the North."

In just a few days, visitors to North Korea will be able to surf the web from 3G-enabled devices. According to the Associated Press, customers of telecom company Koryolink living in Pyongyang received word that the firm will launch a 3G internet service exclusively for foreigners no later than March 1st. While citizens of North Korea have access to things including MMS, video calls, and a subscription to the state-run newspaper …
