Yes, they can, but the OS appends a watermark to each file when it is exported, so every file carries with it a record of who exported it and in what order. That allows the government, when it gets a copy of a shared file, to track back exactly who gave it to whom.
That appears to be the case on RedStar OS. But on Woolim you can only few government signed or self-signed content, nothing else. That was my understanding from the talk.
Ah, you may be right. I skipped over a few parts of the talk, so I may have been missing some context during the watermarking discussion. My comment was based on the segment starting at 41:30.
Maybe you should state that you skimmed the article before declaring something so assertively. Did you even read the parent comment, or did you see "transfer files, Redstar OS" and jump at the chance to espouse your little NK factoid?
Seriously, you didn't read/listen to the article, and you didn't read the parent comment. This sort of comment etiquette is unacceptable on YC

I feel that the above statement is more applicable to your comment, than to the comment you were talking about. I would like to politely suggest silently downvoting a comment that is factually incorrect, instead of going on a rant about comment etiquette.
We're all human and we all make mistakes. Angry outbursts like yours are more toxic to a community than having an occasional user be negligent and fail to fact-check their comment.
