Summary
"Through the successive regimes of Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il, and Kim Jong Un, NorthKorea has maintained near-total control over the information that reaches its citizens. Now, as more and more North Koreans use networked devices such as smartphones, the regime is employing modern forms of censorship and surveillance to control information and curtail freedom of expression. This report argues that the United States and its allies need a new information strategy to end the social isolation of the North Korean people and improve their long-term welfare" -- Publisher's web site.
