Nork server blunder leaks Kim Jong Un's entire DNS – all, er, 28 .kp domains North Korea's zone file has leaked online, providing another insight into the hermit kingdom's internet. According to the TLDR (TLD Records) project, which runs automated zone requests against top-level domains in order to act as an historical archive, the Norks reconfigured one of their nameservers for the .kp space and …
They should certainly be allowed to see, yes. Don't be surprised if they reject that outside world though. Just because we, in our culture, think something is right and normal doesn't mean it's the only way. Having your country run by, let's say someone overenthusiastic about control, isn't ideal but that's not to say watching endless boxsets while eating pizza and burgers getting obese is perfect either.
All countries have propoganda - ours is less obvious than said overenthusiastic ruler but it's certainly there. For example, Americans truly believe they have freedom and democracy despite what we see as overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Their country is for sale to the highest bidder, and using money instead of guns doesn't necessarily mean it's more free it just means fewer people die directly at the hands of the administration. Look at the statistics of how many die as a result of the administration being bought, however, and the numbers are different. Gun control would save many lives, changes to the FDA would save countless more through reductions in obesity and diabetes. Food companies control the way America eats, and makes it very hard to eat sensibly. Drug companies control the way medication is sold and administered, making healthcare needlessly expensive and often preventing better drugs from being used simply because the wrong company owns a patent.
I certainly wouldn't trade places with them, but if you think your Internet access isn't also monitored and controlled then you probably need to do more research!
Apparently they're quite keen on South Korean soap operas and Bond films, among other things.
North Korea has air-gapped their internal networks from the internet. If a citizen were to gain access to the network itself, they would only be able to see a couple web servers hosting sanitized content ripped from the real internet and other citizens' computers.
The leadership doesn't want to take the chance that one of their citizens would find a way to bypass any sort of firewall they put up, nor would they want to risk someone on the outside breaking into and vandalizing internal sites. leading someone to see something they shouldn't.
It's limked in TFA!
The do-gooders always rant about the nasty material available to the wide-eyed youths. I figure the solution would be to host such things on their own top level domains. For example, a throbbing flesh site hosted on pornsite.cum. (or .fap) Pirates have their own setup, such as filepillage.yar.
