North Korean state media outlet the Korea Central News Agency (KCNA) has deleted over 35,000 articles from its on-line archives.
“There were 35,000 articles dated September 2013 or earlier on KCNA in Korean. If they’re leaving the odd one in, it’s still a kill ratio of 98-99%,”
…In addition, Feinstein said that approximately 20,000 articles had also been removed from the archives of the Rodong Sinmun, North Korea’s state newspaper.
“This is a a calculated thing they’ve done. Across all sites, it means the order most likely came from above each individual agency.
“This is what makes it so interesting – it’s a true North Korean purge, not just a KCNA one,” Feinstein explained.
