Not that Verizon are angels, but notice how all those "government doesn't like another government" passive aggressive actions end up hitting people and companies who have no fault at all for a given government policy.

Case in point, Germany doesn't like what U.S. does - boom, Verizon takes a shot.

U.S. and few other countries don't like the anti-gay laws of Uganda. Boom, poor Uganda citizens take a shot (aids get cut).

U.S. doesn't like North Korea's policy. Boom, poor citizens take one again.

Obviously there's no channel where said governments can express themselves, maybe we should have a social network for governments where they can rant and vent off, instead of having innocent third parties suffer?
