Mr. Daniel, I think you have an enormous problem trying to solve this by yourselves. I think that Google doesn't believe that it's competing against Facebook. Facebook doesn't believe it's competing against Google. I think Google thinks it competes against the Government of China where the technology companies report to the government, and I think Google views itself as in competition at that level and that countries are, at best, subsidiary to them. I think they're unbelievably clever at playing countries off against each other, and they're very clever at essentially delaying long enough so that it becomes impossible to act.
The business model is the issue. It is pervasive and, for a smaller-scale country, the degrees of freedom available to you are very limited. Again, I hate to keep coming back to the Sri Lanka example, but as far as I can tell.... I don't care what scale your country's at. I think this is just as true of the United States. I don't think the United States has any leverage over these guys at all, short of shutting them down or at least threatening to shut them down.
What we have to do is to develop some leverage, and that is really what the challenge is for this committee and for policy-makers around the world. You have to recognize that what you're dealing with here is something that's really big. It's really new, and they have absolutely no intention of co-operating. You have no leverage over them—none. Until somebody shows that they're serious about doing something about this, it's just going to keep going on.
