    Or have your site taken down by your own country because of its international obligations. You still have to abide by your own country’s interpretation (and political alignment to) of foreign laws.

      I doubt that the USA would recognise and take down websites for not following Ofcoms requirements. And Ofcom would 100% be too cowardly to even threaten that. They’d just geoblock.

        Perhaps? But you can get extradited from the US to the UK, and there’s all sorts of dumb agreements for international evidence and standing precedent. I don’t expect the current administration to forge new ground here, but navigating the waters of international law is byzantine at the best of times.

          I really, really doubt that a website owner based in USA would be extradited to the UK for not complying with UK local law with how they run their website. That’s absurd.

            Maybe if they were a UK citizen living in the US, but if it was a US citizen, not a chance.
