Check out this article (via Slate's The Big Money) on Google kowtowing to South Korean net police.
The ROK just started enforcing a new law requiring all websites with more than 100,000 members to store detailed ID confirmations for use in future investigations of "misconduct" (do be defined, of course, by the authorities). In effect, this means anonymous posting of any sort has been banned.
Of course, any mention of this new law has been scrubbed from English-language media in South Korea. It's still unclear whether or not this will have a similar effect on Blogger. (Google has basically shut down YouTube in South Korea--you can view videos, but you can't post comments, post new videos, or even, in some cases, log into an account to create playlists.)
