Google has strong words for legislators who are currently mulling over net neutrality issues: the company will take any perceived abuse to the US Department of Justice. Speaking at a news conference in Bulgaria, Internet pioneer and now Google VP Vint Cerf said that the company will be 'happy' if legislators ultimately opt to support net neutrality principles, but in the absence of such support, the company will take a wait-and-see approach. "If we are not successful in our arguments... Then we will simply have to wait until something bad happens and then we will make known our case to the Department of Justice's anti-trust division," he said.

This isn't bashing Google for "complying with society's rules", it's bashing them for taking it upon themselves to push Congress around. Society should be able to push Congress around, but not companies, and certainly not one mammoth company, whether that is Google, Microsoft, or McDonald's.

Ok, so on one side we bash MS for not complying to a country's/community's decisions, then we bash Google for complying. Well, this is our world, countries are different, regimes are different, governments are different. And I still say - despite what's in China - that this is good so. I'd really hate to see americanized countries all over the place.
