A North Korean phone that was smuggled out of the country and obtained by the BBC was programmed to automatically replace forbidden words as they were typed.

In 2023 , Kim Jong Un made it a crime for people to use South Korean phrases or speak in a South Korean accent.

It's an Orwellian degree of absolutist control over the freedom of speech.
