  So you agree "free speech" isn't absolute, but you get to decide where the line is?

      I did, like a month ago. I forget the details, but I still get bozos like him talking about limiting speech and acting like Im crazy for thinking governments are overreaching.

  Agreed. Show me the American (America based company) law. No, not just an ultra-leftist opinion but the actual statute.

    If you're operating in the EU, you have to abide by EU laws when dealing with EU clients. No ifs, ands or buts.

      That’s only really feasible for as long as the corporation has a physical presence in the EU and/or the corporation’s home government is willing to enforce the laws of a foreign government upon their own corporations/citizens.

      I know Twitter used to have offices In the EU, but I don’t know if that’s still the case currently. If it’s not then without the cooperation of the US government there’s not much the EU can do if Musk decides to tell them to pound sand.

      I’m not saying I think he’s in the right, I just don’t see how it’s possible for any nation to enforce laws outside of their own borders without the co-operation of other governments, and I don’t see how the US government could possibly co-operate to enforce foreign laws that would likely violate the US constitution.

        That is done via a web of international treaties. So if you break GDPR despite having all your stuff in America, they can still come after you.
