[governance] Google's officer with detention order in brasil

[Riaz K Tayob]

The issue below can also be framed with less simplicity... there is an 
intersection of self-interest and public interest... by seeing it only 
one way, we may miss important aspects of the case, including the fact 
that human rights are essentially litigated mainly by corporations 
asserting rights rather than natural persons... after Citizens United 
decision in the US, many ought to give this framing some more 
consideration as it may be too simple...

On your latter point, are you opting for the easy route of unilateral US 
control? You may as well be explicit...
