"Government censorship of the Internet is a cat-and-mouse game. And
despite more aggressive tactics in recent months, the cats have been
largely frustrated while the mice wriggle away. But this year, the
challenges for Silicon Valley will mount, with Russia and Turkey in
particular trying to tighten controls on foreign-based Internet
companies. Major American companies like Facebook, Twitter and Google
are increasingly being put in the tricky position of figuring out
which laws and orders to comply with around the world -- and which to
ignore or contest."
