Internet portals such as Naver and Daum will be held more responsible for posting news on their own sites following the Seoul Central District Court's ruling against portal operators over bad, slanderous or obscene postings last Friday.
The court ruled in favor of a person, surnamed Kim, who sued four domestic portals on libel charges since the portals randomly carried articles saying he was to blame for his girlfriend's suicide. Four domestic portals were each ordered to pay 16 million won ($17,000) to Kim."
