US Rep. Jim Jordan Challenges South Korea's Anti‑Misinformation Law

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan led a group of Republican lawmakers in sending a formal letter to South Korea’s Media and Communications Commission. The letter objected to a newly enacted South Korean law designed to curb the spread of disinformation and misinformation online, arguing that the measure could restrict free speech.

Jordan’s intervention reflects a broader effort by some U.S. conservatives to project domestic concerns about “fake news” onto foreign policy, using congressional influence to contest how another sovereign nation regulates its digital information environment.
