Tourists, probably. That’s what their 3G network is for, if I remember correctly.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Ah yeah. With the current storage data on phones, while trips there usually are a week or so, 3G isn't fast enough for them to spy on all the tourists' data

Tourists

They have that? Why would you go there?

I thought internet is mostly for officials and military in NK?

Why would you go there?

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

For real. Even though my country has diplomatic ties with NK I would never in a million years step foot in there. I don't think anyone should.

Unless you're Dennis Rodman.

I'm not dumb enough to actually go but I get the draw. It's a fascinating place.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I'm not allowed to go, but I sure would love to see that dictstorship with my own eyes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Well there is Dennis Rodman and other nuts that think he's great.
