> I've also been informed by at least one C-level exec that it was vitally important that we prohibit North Korean internet users from using our website.

that's an order I would break; to do that goes against the principles of the internet.

I suppose I'm not getting hired any time soon.

yea, I'm not 'obedient' enough... I have principles like open internet, shared culture, freedom, and so on.

what's worse, I feel for Korean culture, split in half by AmeriRussian "interactions".

It's not an order, embargo laws exist in every modern country. Doing business in embargoed countries just means prison time and fines. I don't know if you realize this, but almost nobody in NK has internet...

    But internet principles say that government intelligence services and e-privateers should have access to every port!

Germany reunified. Korea might have as well had it not been for North Korea's invasion of South Korea, and China's support of North Korea as a buffer zone.

And why no blame for Japan?

And what "internet principles" are you writing about? Everyone can access everything? This hasn't ever been the case. There have always been access controls.

The word you're looking for is naïve.

    WHEN THE LAW IS CORRUPT, TO BREAK IT IS JUSTICE

      DURA LEX SED LEX

      (Of course, sometimes it takes breaking the law to change the law. Revolutions, for example, have never been lawful. Governments may even praise a revolution - especially the ones that brought them to power, - yet they would always make sure that any future revolution is illegal.)
