I would say that it does, but the bigger question is what's the
"right" answer? "Make the world a better place" or "make more money"?

Subject: [brlug-general] Internet Human Bill of Rights
Now, this may be a good idea:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/190579/senator_to_introduce_internet_human_rights_bill.html
The basic idea: The law "would impose criminal or civil penalties on
U.S. Internet companies that bow to pressure of foreign governments
and violate human rights."
Still, this creates a cache-22. This would essentially bar US
companies from competing in markets like China, which are huge. So
would this put our companies at a long-term disadvantage?
Perhaps this law makes more sense if it applies to *ANY* company
that operates in the US.
