Summary:

The Network Act of 2020 in South Korea aims to govern its digital landscape. While it outlines key provisions for digital infrastructure, data protection, and regulatory governance, it raises concerns about sustainability, adaptability, and enforcement. Specifically, the lack of clear provisions for maintaining digital infrastructure sustainably, the uncertainty of data protection measures in the face of cybersecurity threats, and the lack of specificity on penalties for non-compliance create potential issues for the Act's effectiveness. To be truly effective, the Act must address these concerns and adapt to evolving cyber threats.
