No, I agree. In no way did I mean to suggest that Google was going to take the role of a UN with teeth, to mediate between different countries.
It would be more accurate for me to say that Google has a demonstrated willingness to allow their employees to contribute to political activism using company resources. Absolutely, it has a selfish motive, but it's a central principle of capitalism to leverage selfish motives into public goods. (No comment on the principle itself.)
