The Korea Communications Standards Commission (Hangul: 방송통신심의위원회; Hanja: 放送通信審議委員會; RR: Bangsongtongsinsimui Wiwonhoe) is South Korea's Internet censorship body.
The KCSC replaced an earlier body, the Information and Communication Ethics Committee.
On September 2011, the KCSC has decided to open up its three discussion committees to the public.
The KCSC has required Korean citizens to enter government issued ID numbers in order to post political comments online.
The KCSC planned to set up a regulatory office dedicated to supervise the posts on SNS outlets. However, the Constitutional Court of Korea has ruled against KCSC's decision to regulate voting-related posts on SNS outlets.
