Korea slaps $327,067 fine on Twitch for suspending service

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
The Korean laws around streaming services are absolutely bonkers https://www.internetsociety.org/blog/2022/09/sender-pays-what-lessons-european-policy-makers-should-take-from-south-korea/
Wow.
User wants to watch a video, and the company hosting the video gets a bill. Companies move their servers out of South Korea. OK, but if speeds drop too much then they’ve invented a fine to punish companies for working around the law.
I wonder if corruption or stupidity more likely lead to that law. Preferred this writeup of theirs BTW (clarity).
