Dear Satish,

you've hit the nail right on the head. This is likely to turn into
another round of private sector vs. government.
The trouble is that one of the ways that this could be accepted by these
governments is by having these companies act as the censor. History is
showing us that the Private sector is happy to oblige under certain
conditions.
Kindest regards,

Olivier
