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 US doesn’t respect sovereignty.

    That doesn’t change the principle of sovereignty.
    Usa has yet to learn.
