The Transparency Report submitted by the internet service providers details the various technical and managerial efforts to prevent the distribution of illegal filming content, including reporting functions, search restrictions, pre-comparative identification and posting restrictions, and pre-warning measures. According to this year's Transparency Report, last year, internet service providers received and processed reports of 144,813 items of illegal filming content, fake pornography, and child and youth sexual exploitation materials from users and proxy reporting/deletion agents and organizations, resulting in the deletion or blocking of 81,578 items. Park Dong-joo, Director-General of the Broadcasting Communications Consumer Policy Bureau of the KCC, stated, "The distribution of digital sex crime videos inflicts irreparable harm on victims, making our society's collective effort to prevent this crucial. We hope that internet service providers will continue to diligently fulfill their social responsibilities to prevent secondary victimization, as they have done over the past year through various technical and managerial measures."
