This video was shared on the tanuki42 account.
«Here’s a video of a North Korean IT worker being stopped for demanding to insult Kim Jong-un. This method won’t work forever, but it’s a really effective filter for now. I haven’t met a single (North Korean — Ed.) person who could say that,» the account owner shared his observations.
