In response to the new Seth Rogan/James Franco comedy "The Interview," in
which Kim Jung Un is assassinated as part of the storyline, North Korea is
purported to have conducted a cyber-attack against Sony Pictures, stealing data
and disrupting its flow of business. Pyongyang has threatened additional attacks
on the United States and particularly on theatres that show the film. Curiously,
North Korea has experienced internet outages in the days since, in all
likelihood by American hackers.
Some people cried "censorship" when some major theatres decided not to show
the film, but in my opinion, those were business decisions by private entities
and not by any means government censorship, which is the only kind of censorship
people truly need to be concerned with.
