How anti-NSA backlash could fracture the Internet along national borders - The Washington Post
Just wanted to add something to the discussion:
http://www.renesys.com/2013/10/google-dns-departs-brazil-ahead-new-law/
Basically, they are claiming possible new laws in Brazil have left Google to
shut down DNS services locally.

That is correct (not everywhere) but it has no direct relationship with the

Also there is no uniform and universal standard that defines what is or is
not a violation.
