Cyber wrecker prevention law National Assembly petition how to sign in one minute

With damage caused by cyber wreckers emerging as a social agenda, both ruling and opposition parties in the National Assembly have submitted amendments to the Information and Communications Network Act. The most direct way to add momentum to this current is the National Assembly's national-agreement petition. In consultations, we often hear that people want to agree but the procedure feels too complex, yet it really takes only one minute. Today we organize the procedure together with why this petition matters.

The structure of cyber-wrecker content typically goes like this.

• Thumbnails and titles that provoke anger, fear, or arousal
• Videos and audio stitched together without fact-checking
• Targeting innocent individuals as objects of online witch-hunt for traffic
• Monetizing anger through Super Chat, donations, and ads

While a person daily life crumbles, the perpetrator takes in revenue. To correct this, legislative devices such as raised sentences and ill-gotten-gains forfeiture are essential.

The amendments to the Information and Communications Network Act proposed by both parties typically share the following direction.

• Forfeiture and additional collection of ill-gotten gains from cyber-wrecker activity
• Raised sentencing for insult and defamation
• Aggravated punishment for repeat offenders
• Strengthened rapid-removal obligations of platforms

While specific provisions differ by bill, the skeleton above is typically shared.

The National Assembly national-agreement petition is formally referred to the relevant standing committee if 50,000 agreements are obtained within 30 days.

When parties already share consensus, passage of a petition typically accelerates subsequent legislative scheduling.

• Agreement is possible without registration, as a non-member
• Works on both computer and mobile phone
• Identity verification via PASS authentication or SMS authentication

The concrete steps are:

• Click the Cyber-Wrecker Prevention Law national-agreement petition link
• Click the agree button at the bottom of the page
• If not a member, click confirm and choose identity verification
• Proceed with PASS or SMS verification
• Click the agreement button and complete

It typically takes about 10 to 20 seconds.

• The misunderstanding "you can not unless you register": non-members can also do it
• The misunderstanding "computer only": mobile works too
• The misunderstanding "only PASS authentication": SMS authentication is also available
• The misunderstanding "my information becomes public": the list of petition agreers is not made public externally

Passage of the petition does not automatically complete legislation, but it has the following effects.

• Formal referral to the relevant standing committee and onto the agenda
• Combined with legislative proposals, debate schedules accelerate
• Additional media and public attention
• Expanded social discussion of the cyber-wrecker revenue structure itself

• Application for temporary measures under the Information and Communications Network Act (post blocking)
• Criminal complaint for defamation or insult
• Provisional injunction for post removal on the ground of personality-right infringement
• Damages claim

I typically advise victims early on to consider temporary measures and removal injunctions together. They are procedures that cut "spread itself" before the result of defamation hardens.

The hardest aspect of cyber-wrecker damage cases is typically social isolation. As family, colleagues, and acquaintances fail to withstand the "curiosity" of internet videos, the victim grows increasingly alone. Legislation is, in the end, a social promise to reduce this loneliness.

Q. If I agree to the petition, will my identity be made public?

A. The list of agreers is not made public externally; identity verification is collected only to ensure the integrity of the petition numbers.

Q. If we cannot reach 50,000, is the petition meaningless?

A. Even if the formal-referral threshold is not met, the numbers themselves are used as material showing the level of social attention.

I often see moments when victims of cyber-wrecker cases become the loneliest. Legislative change is the surest path to reducing that loneliness. The 10 to 20 seconds of a petition agreement may seem small, but added together they change the direction of society. If you have suffered similar harm or are interested, please take a moment to participate in the petition.

Cyber-wrecker damage recovery is typically not a fight one person fights alone. What family and acquaintances can do together includes:

• Saving URLs and screenshots of videos and posts in chronological order
• Collaborating on reports for defamation and insult posts
• Reporting fake-news distribution channels
• Supporting daily routines that aid emotional recovery
• Resetting the public range of one SNS

Stopping the "spark" before it spreads to other platforms is important.

Currently proposed amendments typically include a direction in which platforms share responsibility if they fail to act within a certain time after receiving a report. This reflects the reality that victims cannot chase down each piece of content one by one.

• Sending opinion emails to lawmakers offices
• Joining civil-society activities
• Sharing the petition link on social media
• Personally informing two or three acquaintances of the petition

When the petition alone is insufficient, the above activities typically help accelerate legislation.

The petition looks small, but it is typically a social signal that directly shakes the legislative timeline. One minute of your time can change the next year for a victim.

Citizens typically get stuck at the following points on the actual petition site.

• Mistaking the login window as members-only
• Forced perception that PASS app installation is required at the identity-verification step
• Failing to return to the petition page after verification
• Closing without seeing the completion screen after clicking the agree button

Remember the order: identity verification, return to petition page, click agree, confirm completion screen, and it typically wraps in one minute.

• Criminal complaint about the damage facts
• Application for temporary measures on the harmful video
• Provisional injunction on the ground of personality-right infringement
• Damages claim

Apart from the petition, individual victims typically use these tools to produce results for ongoing damage. The petition is a social signal; the individual tools are immediate-protection devices.

Carrying out the petition and individual victim remedies simultaneously is typically the most effective.

Temporary measures under the Information and Communications Network Act are typically a procedure to swiftly request the cessation of posting of defamatory or privacy-infringing information. When the victim applies directly, temporary blocking is typically achieved within 30 days, buying time to prepare full legal procedures (injunctions, criminal complaints, damages) in parallel.

A removal injunction on the ground of personality-right infringement is typically a procedure capable of swift decision. Used early, before spread hardens, it typically reduces recovery cost significantly.

One minute of petition, one minute of reporting, one minute of sharing. When these three combine, the flow of a single case typically changes.

What is most often missed early in a case is material preservation. Do not save only the link of a video; saving screenshots and meta information (upload time, author, platform) together typically helps in every subsequent procedure. Cloud backup additionally adds safety.

Whether the petition is referred or not, participation in the petition itself remains in the legislative sensibility of society as a record. A single minute, accumulated, becomes an accumulating citizens signal and firms up the starting point of the next legislative discussion.

I would like to emphasize once more that no victim is alone.
