BTCCSquare news:
South Korea has postponed its decision on Google's request to export local map data for 60 days, citing unresolved national security concerns. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced the delay, giving Google time to address potential risks tied to sensitive information, including military facility locations.
This marks the third such rejection since 2007, underscoring Seoul's unwavering prioritization of security over commercial convenience. The timing leaves the issue unresolved ahead of a potential bilateral summit later this month.
