Can be called to action anytime there is a suspiction that you are about to commit anything illegal, and especially in these after 2001 era you are more than evere liable to be monitored.
Google in Germany censors sites that don't comply with legislation and recently gave away in Brazil personal data to crack down on a bunch of cp users, google currently posseses more complex information about the global PC users worldwide than any other commercial entity.
If someone provides a service he can put in his own rules of using it, especially to comply with the jurisdiction.
Such as Arabian IP providers are blocking xxx content or chinese IP providers are blocking certain sites or you can't load porn on the internet connection provided in certain hotels as they would canibalise the revenue from their PPV.
That all is happening already.
