Recently, there are illegal online practices rampant on the Interent, such as using other persons' names or IDs, or a macro program which performs repeititve tasks, to distort public opinion.  
Such acts may be construed as the “interference with business by damaging a computer, etc.” under the Criminal Act, but there is still room for disagreement as to the application of the Criminal Act as information and communications service providers such as Internet portals do not have a responsibility for or have not been tasked with forming accurate public opinion or statistics.
Accordingly, this Amendment prescribes that no person shall use others’ personal information for the purpose of influencing public opinion on the Internet or use a program that technically bypasses the rules of information networks established by information and communications service providers; and imposes penalities for non-compliance (Article 48, paragraph 4 and Article 73, subparagraph 5-2 newly inserted).

Prohibit the use of others’ personal information to influence public opinion on the Internet or use of a program that technically bypasses the rules of information network established by information network service providers; and apply penal provisions for non-compliance (Article 48, paragraph 4 and Article 73, subparagraph 5-2)
