I like the way you are including debates over Google and sovereignty as further evidence of the thesis that information societies, i.e. advanced societies in their informational aspects, are undergoing a normative crisis. The premise that cyberspace is in some sense post-territorial and indeed post-physical makes the normative crisis particularly complex from a legal and ethical point of view. However, the idea of a single agency may be politically far too problematic, even dangerous. Thank you for picking up some points I made in my article in Cyberpsychology.
