It depends on your definition of "conspiracy theory", I thought that term used to mean explanations deemed to be nutty, but I guess you mean it literally. Please, my mind is open, but as others have explained it's probably some image format being misinterpreted. To immediately put as prime suspect a theoretical secret government mandated software when a harmless photo of not-a-secret-document is corrupted is... nutjob-level insane. If my car breaks down should I think "Oh shit the CIA/KGB/etc must've beamed a signal down from their satellite to jam my car's ECU", or should I wonder what part wore out? Original poster assumed the first with his "censored", while I'd like to explain there are a lot of possible harmless explanations. If someone's done a proper investigation and found censorship software, well I'll be damned, but before that, I'm not going to think "the men in black are out to get us!". People who think like that used to be found yelling on street corners, now they're all over the fucking Internet.
