A tiny USB memory stick is unlikely to combat oppressive Kim Jong-un, but thousands of them could help the people of North Korea by showing them the freedoms enjoyed by people in the rest of the world, according to human rights activists.
The New York-based Human Rights Foundation and Forum 280, a Silicon Valley nonprofit, have partnered on the “Flash Drives for Freedom” program, which will collect USB flash drives and fill them with content ranging from South Korean soap operas to Hollywood movies and interviews with North Korean defectors, then smuggle them into the country for citizens to view.

The goal of the initiative is to create a cheap information pipeline for some of the 25 million residents living in one of the most oppressive regimes in the world!
“In the world’s most closed society, flash drives are invaluable tools of education and discovery,” the project’s website reads. “In a society without the Internet, with total government censorship and no independent media, citizens rely on these little pieces of plastic. Filled with books and movies, they are a window to the outside world!”

Few North Koreans have PCs or MACs to plug in a USB stick, but many have Notels, which are portable media players from China that have USB and SD ports. Cheap tablets and smartphones with ports are also becoming popular in North Korea.
