In my understanding, the “cease and desist” letter from χwitter against XCancel and Nitter is a warning to stop copyright infringement based on US-Law. The US-Law has no effect on most parts of the world. Why cant we just ignore it altogether? I understand that it will be problematic for US- Citizen but everyone else just have to obey their own countries jurisdiction.
Is there a point in the Internets infrastructure that the USA has enough leverage on to stop it anyway? Or am i downplaying the Influence of US Law on judicial decisions in other countries?
Until you remember ICANN is a US org and will give your domain to whomever a judge tells them to, or your CDN disabling your services, or your VM host, crashHub is owned by M$ so they will comply with a takedown of a repo.
“I’m not in the US it doesn’t effect me” makes as much sense as “I don’t care about privacy, I have nothing to hide”
They can put it under the TLD of a country like Belarus or North Korea. But I guess that would be too much of a hassle.
That’s not what I said.
It is about your doing business there, or not.
