interesting theme -> 

Question 1. Do US companies like Google (gmail, YouTube) and Microsoft

Question 2. Can third-parties monitor online services from US companies

service-providers?

Within the European Union a discours started, how companies should
adressed to when playing a (technical) role in conflicts on human
rights.
