    North Korea’s internet is a small—and fragile—space. The repressive nation only has 1,024 IP addresses and around 30 websites that connect to the global internet. While there is a limited internal intranet, only a few thousand of the country’s 26 million people can get on the internet. When they do, it’s highly controlled: These select few North Koreans can use the internet for an hour at a time and have a person sitting next to them approving their use every five minutes.

    Meh clearly an exaggeration. DPRK does have very few public ips but there is nothing preventing them from NATing or using VPNs.

      seriously. western journalists acting like shitloads of us aren't sharing IPs on a carrier grade NAT scheme.

      asia hit IPv4 exhaustion back in 2011. north america did in 2015.

      It's cute you think they have that many people available to be internet monitors when so many of them are pushing trains.

        Fake news. They pull the trains, so they can see all the disgraced Generals' families they are slowly running the trains over. Then the AA guns shoot them.

      Love to censor the entire internet for surveillance or control or whatever only to still end up at "guy sitting next to everyone going on the computer". Like just have that then, that's way cheaper!

      Wait till libs find out that internet cafes are very popular in the DPRK. People there just generally don't have home computers.
