"Google and Microsoft have found themselves embroiled in some awkward
geopolitical disputes as they’ve made their mapping services available
around the world, and they’ve found a brilliant diplomatic workaround to
the demands of dogmatic politicians: they give each country the map that
its government wants, serving it seamlessly to domestic users by
reckoning the locations of their IP addresses."
Technology makes it easier for countries to enforce their own views -
but also easier to compare differing views. Via Lauren Weinstein.
