Did you also find it highly ironic that someone who comes across as 
taking the constant position of govt = evil is able to defend infomation 
being censored though political pressures that are extra constitutional 
/ beyond processes of law? But both ironies are beside the point.

Global public policy mechanisms are required precisely to address this 
unilateral use of power - if the wikileaks info petained to France or 
Japan, let alone any developing county, would Amazon have pulled them down?
Or are you saying that the unilateral power of USG/US is better than an 
international structure/process
