  But the article is about these sites breaking Florida law, and they are.

  No, that’s not true. You cannot break a law when the government in question has no jurisdiction over you. The sites are not breaking Florida law because they are not subject to Florida law in the first place.

    Sites outside the country are probably fine but if they’re in the USA not using a geolock is foolish.
