Hi Dave,
i would add that for a billion of pages or just one, the decision -
and logic - should be the same.
or should we consider that Google is acting as a judge deciding
what,s good or bad, for any reason they should be solely responsable
to appreciate ?

Google Inc., which refused in the past year to hand over user search
data to U.S. authorities fighting children's access to pornography,
said yesterday that it was complying with a Brazilian court's orders
to turn over data that could help identify users accused of taking
part in online communities that encourage racism, pedophilia and
homophobia.
The difference, it says, is scale and purpose.
The Justice Department wanted Google's entire search index, billions
of pages and two months' worth of queries, for a broad civil case.
Brazil, by contrast, is looking for information in specific cases
involving Google's social networking site, Orkut.
"What they're asking for is not billions of pages," said Nicole Wong,
Google associate general counsel. "In most cases, it's relatively
discrete -- small and narrow."
