It's increasingly becoming clear that the practice is very different. There's several cases, most notably Assange and the current Megaupload trial that indicate that private entities are putting pressure on governments, who in turn put pressure on their peers in other countries. And it can't all be written off as conspiracy theories anymore.
- molo 14y agoI'm sorry, what is the private entity involved in Assange's case?
- abend 14y agoI think SAP is referring to an external entity having an influence on a government's judicial process, not necessarily strictly private. Whether it's the US Government or a special interest group. Assange's case included.
- molo 14y agoI don't think that is the intended statement at all. Please reread this sentence: > There's several cases, most notably Assange and [...] that indicate that private entities are putting pressure on governments, who in turn put pressure on their peers in other countries.
