This reads like something from a parallel universe in which Google doesn't do quality work, where legacy media companies adjusted to the Internet (by losing two thirds of their revenues?[1]), and where the US has a lot to learn from Europe because we here are clearly at the cutting edge of the digital revolution.
Americans came up with Google, Amazon, Twitter and every other company named in that article when we are implementing some ridiculous memory hole ruling and hiding links in search results. That's where our "aggressive officials" have led us[2].
The best part though was a worry over the absence of the Frankfurt School thought at a web2.0 conference.
