I read an article where a journalist reported about a visit to NK where they were taken into a room and shown a bunch of people using the internet. The journalist said it was just a bunch of people on Google who clearly had no idea what they were doing, like they’d only just been placed in front of an internet browser for the first time in their lives.

It didn’t take them long to find the porn once they were on the Russian internet, though

In 2015, two German researchers speaking at the Chaos Communication Congress described the internal operation of the OS. The North Korean government wants to track the underground market of USB flash drives used to exchange foreign films, music and writing, so the system watermarks all files on portable media attached to computers.

Interesting! I wonder what they do with the information.

The fact that not much is known about RedStarOS is fascinating.
