Now *this* is a valid, on-topic issue for this list. Does your employer have written protocols concerning what should be done and who is responsible when orders are given? This is *not* the Nuremberg trials; Martinez-Baker is probably the controlling case, though IANAL. So that we're clear, though, my interpretation of the original directive is that it forbids *member governments* from cutting off Internet access, and I don't know that it got into enough detail to suggest that this applied at the tactical, rather than strategic level. If I were running an ISP or IAP, you can bet I'd have a better answer than that, though, and your employer should too -- If a CxO hasn't talked to a General Counsel since that press release came out, then someone's falling down on the job.
