I think this case is interesting for a number of reasons, but most especially because it calls into question issues of nations’ rights in a global economy but more specifically a globally networked community. Of course, Americans tend to decry what they regard as censorship by France, since freedom of speech is a right we view as sacred. However, we become incensed when we discover that Thailand is posting images of child pornography that can be accessed by someone in our own country. How vile, we say, and rightly so, but doesn’t this call into question our own hypocrisy when it comes to respecting other nations’ cyberethics? What I suspect much happen sooner or later – and I fully realize that this sounds like an overly idealistic notion – is that a world economy must arise to replace the independent nation model we now have. Not only would such a system resolve these sorts of issues, but it would allow bedrock standards to be set, such as minimum wage, so that problems such as those we have with outsourcing would cease to exist.
