Say, from India's perspective it is possible that they will be at war with the United States at some point in the next 50 years. If that happens then the US will have a detailed social graph of the country through Facebook and who-knows-what information about their manufacturing, commercial and geospatial situation through Google.

Geopolitically, there is an argument there for, say, Europe or Asian countries to ban Google/Facebook/whatever and choke off the revenue leaving their country. That is a pretty decent short-term nationalist argue to try and avoid large amounts of money leaving the country for foreign climes. The Chinese wall-off-the-internet strategy hasn't obviously failed them, and it gave them a bunch of serious technology contenders.

It isn't a problem for this week, but that perspective raises longer-term questions about what the risks are to Google's and Facebook's business models of government intervention.
