How have hackers restricted the flow of information?

I have, personally.

There was a local municipal hack that affected in-person county operations.

The fix would be around $2.2M.

I chose to keep quiet because that money could be better spent elsewhere.

So yes, I did censor myself because the harm of speaking was much greater than being quiet.

- any ransomware gang when their target pays up

- the people on the technical side of Digital Restrictions Management stuff

- the folks behind SELinux

- anyone DOSing a service they don't like
