I don't really agree with this, but consider this argument : Is it really a bad thing if different countries have different understanding of what's allowed/not allowed? If the whole world had the same system of governance, that could be dangerous too.

The issue isn't a different cultural perspective, its censorship. In this case, the censorship is vast, arbitrary, and sweeping. Making it illegal to criticise North Korea is not protecting anyone, its oppressive.
