Precautions when requesting Takedown and Repost

  • When the takedown is processed, the publisher of the post will be notified of the name of the requester and the reason for the request.
  • The request can be made only when the requester can prove that he or she is the copyright holder or legitimate owner.
  • In accordance with the provisions in Paragraph 3, Article 103 of the Korean Copyright Act and Paragraph 2, Article 43 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act, NAVER Cloud Platform notifies the original takedown requester of the expected repost date (7 days after receipt of the repost request) and then the post will be restored on the expected repost date.
  • For the republished posts, it is not possible to make a request of takedown repeatedly, and subsequent proceedings may be settled out of court between the parties or resolved by a hearing or court decision of the relevant administrative agency.
What is a masked ID?
