Jeff Jarvis nimmt die These von Kai Biermann von Google als Quasi-Staat auf und bilanziert:

It also says that on the internet, new states form across interests, ignoring borders. Those interests can be business — and we’ve seen what look like business-states before — but also causes, principles, and dangers (e.g., Al Qaeda). Interest-states will gain more power and that power will come from nations.

What this says, of course, is that the internet is the New World and Google is its biggest colonizer: the sun never sets on Google.
