North Korean Authorities Adjust Strategies to Contain Outside
Information in Smartphone Era

Eugene Whong
18 December 2019

Authorities in North Korea are scrambling to figure out new ways
of limiting access to information about the outside world as
communications technology becomes more advanced.

“So they will go through the cellphone and they’ll look at the
pictures on the cell phone, they’ll look at videos on the
cellphone, they’ll look at chat messages you’ve been sending to
your friends, both to see what you’ve been talking about, but
also to see language you have been using that would indicate
you’re using some South Korean colloquialisms or something like
that. So people have to be very careful with what they’re doing
with their smartphones,” he said.

Technology

The report also describes in detail some of the ways that the
North Korean authorities are able to use technology to prevent
the spread of outside information, particularly through their
ability to monitor cellphone activity and file sharing.

North Korean smartphones all have an application called “Red
Flag” running in the background that keeps a log of webpages
visited by users and randomly takes screenshots. These can be
viewed, but not deleted with another app called “Trace Viewer”

“The system is sinister in its simplicity. It reminds users that
everything they do on the device can be recorded and later viewed
by officials, even if it does not take place online. As such, it
insidiously forces North Koreans to self-censor in fear of a
device check that might never happen,” the report said.
