By Lee Youkyung
SEOUL, March 15 (Yonhap) -- South Korea, the world's most wired country, has been listed as one of the few democracies where the Internet is "under surveillance" by the government, according to a recent report by the Paris-based rights watchdog Reporters Without Borders (RSF).
The media organization also said in the report dated Friday it has listed North Korea among the world's 12 top enemies of the Internet, the worst violators of the freedom of expression in the cyber world.
The RSF said South Korea was put on the list of the second most serious violators of Internet freedom, along with Australia, because of the South Korean government's alleged censorship promotion.
