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?
The simple principle that a country’s law is in force in this country, while in another country it is that other country’s law. It is also called sovereignty.
The US doesn’t respect sovereignty. Hence our sanctions regimes, embargoes, and charging people that have never been to the united states or done business with it with crimes and extraditing them. Ie, people for drugs in latin america that never did business with americans.
That doesn’t change the principle of sovereignty.
Usa has yet to learn.
Sorry, I meant more specifically about the dependency on users and income.

Look, you obviously aren’t obligated to answer but it feels like you are taking my question as an insult or picking a fight. I really just want to fill the gaps in my knowledge so that I can be better informed.
