NewbieJr 540 Posted December 22, 2014 For some reason, I can't paste anything on this website. Nor can I quote anyone. Not on my work computer. So perhaps someone else could kindly post a link to the news story. Anyway, North Korea has ben experiencing an almost total shutdown of its internet service today. No one has cited a reason or claimed responsibility as of yet. Is this possible U.S. retribution for the cyber-hacking and threats made to Sony and our country last week?

GobbleDog 816 Posted December 23, 2014 It's anonymous for sure. That was my initial thought, but I also wouldn't be suprised if the U.S. government was involved. I'm not a conspiracy person, but what was the U.S. supposed to do? They were'nt going to start a war over it and what's left to sanction against North Korea? Not sure I favor the U.S. government doing it, if they did. But it was either that... or Anonymous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GobbleDog 816 Posted December 23, 2014 They shut down cell phone service for the whole country for 5 years awhile ago. I don't remember that.?. "They" being the US?

SUXBNME 1,324 Posted December 23, 2014 I don't remember that.?. "They" being the US? Don't we want North Korean's talking on phones and scheming against their evil regime? No..I was watching the Black Ops season 2 on Netflix last night and one of the episodes claimed that North Korea shut down all cell phone usage for 5 years. don't know if it's true or nor. Either way, good show. http://www.netflix.com/WiMovie/80004155?mqso=81198655&awadgroupid=17494168810&awcampaignid=140970130&awcreative=50709766570&awdevice=c&awexpid&awkeyword=netflix%20black%20ops&awmatchtype=e&awnetwork=g&awposition=1t1&gclid=Cj0KEQiAn9-kBRDloNeUw7Pe_YwBEiQA4HXMU41wZxAZrcmo8FfyL_S7-TUeNW5511REsuG2rHo3aYkaAvn58P8HAQ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted December 23, 2014 See, I think we don't want to cut thier Internet. Remember radio free Europe, where we broadcast all the cool western music behind the iron curtain? I think we should set up satellite high speed Internet free to North Korea. Let em all get hooked on free porn, social media, etc. Then one day cut it off, and blame thier government. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SUXBNME 1,324 Posted December 23, 2014 Actually, banning cell phones in North Korea has happened before. Back in 2004, according to World Politics Review, the country banned the sale and use of cellular devices, and has resulted in the rise of a mobile black market, with relay stations set up on the Chinese border to connect North Koreans to the South. http://www.techwireasia.com/1852/north-korea-bans-use-of-mobile-phones/ Still don't know the validity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
