    Google's decision to bypass local censorship laws may contribute to inciting Internet users to flock to foreign sites as a means of avoiding censorship.

    Google has a miniscule presence in the country where domestic Web sites such as Naver (www.naver.com) and Daum (www.daum.net) are the key players.

    Internet users are increasingly concerned about the level of Web surveillance here and many bloggers are contemplating ``cyber exiles.''

    ``Not so many users go to foreign sites,'' said an official from Daum.
