> Sony let North Korea censor what US audiences saw, for a while.
This is a very bad mischaracterization of what happened: North Korea blackmailed Sony over The Interview, threatening retaliation. Sony didn't censor themselves to make headway into the North Korean market.
If I provide services to a dictator because the dictator is giving me a boatload of money, that makes me a bad person. If I provide services to a dictator because the dictator says they'll kill my family otherwise, that makes me a victim.
On Reddit, whenever China is even remotely applicable you will see the top comments mocking and flaming Xi. India is less extreme (not on random posts) but the vast majority of https://reddit.com/r/India criticizes Modi as well (and on random posts there's general India negativity and sometimes even racism in other subs). Other platforms I'm on (including HN) also give no sympathy to dictators.
> In June 2014, the North Korean government threatened action against the United States if Sony released the film. As a result, Sony delayed the release from October to December and reportedly re-edited the film to make it more acceptable to North Korea. In November, the computer systems of Sony were hacked by the "Guardians of Peace", a North Korean cybercrime group. The group also threatened terrorist attacks against theaters showing the film. This led to major theater chains opting not to release the film, and Sony instead releasing it for online digital rental and purchase on December 25, 2014, followed by a limited release at selected theaters the next day.
Disney also includes stuff that gets them banned in some countries that could have easily been omitted without harming the story at all.
"Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness" was banned in a few Mideast countries because in a brief scene that has a character from a different universe showing how she ended up traveling between universes she is seen with two women and refers to them as her two moms.
"Onward" was banned in Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia because a female cyclops minor character mentions her girlfriend.
In both of those instances, I'm pretty sure the references in question were intentionally easy to remove so they could be submitted to the Chinese authorities for approval. Laughably apparently there was an Epoch Times newspaper box in the background of Doctor Strange MoM (Because it's NY and of course there is) and that got the movie rejected.
Sony let North Korea censor what US audiences saw, for a while. Hollywood, especially Disney, otherwise censors itself to be able to show movies.
