Tech giant Google will improve its system and take measures to provide stable services, according to the Korean government.

If service disruptions occur, just like last year when multiple Google services went down for an hour globally, the firm also needs to notify Korean users in Korean language posts on Google Korea's blog, Facebook or Twitter account.

This marks the first case where a revised domestic law holds online content providers accountable for service errors.

South Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT said Monday that under the revised Telecommunications Business Act, Google will take measures to improve its service and user protection. 

Six major market players are subject to the law including Facebook, Netflix, Naver, Kakao Corporation and the streaming service Wavve.

Following December's Google service freeze, the ICT Ministry has been looking into the matter and found that insufficient storage space in processing the user login system was to blame for the outage.
