Extradition?
- Hermel 8y agoExtradition treaties usually limit extradition to things that are punishable in both countries.
- namibj 8y agoBut not being able to step foot on European soil due to an outstanding bench warrant is at least severely inconvenient.
- cdoxsey 8y agoIts ridiculous on its face. European laws don't apply to American companies if they don't do business in Europe. It will become a major international incident if people try to do this.

- Bizarro 8y agoYes, extradition for EU officials who try to enforce illegal lawss against the citizens of sovereign nations.
- kuschku 8y agoBy that rule we’d have to arrest all US officials, for constantly interfering in Europe. Stuff like https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/ka26b/paypal_blackmails_one_of_the_three_major_german/https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Lassen-uns-nicht-erpressen-Rossmann-schmeisst-Paypal-raus-1340041.html https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/ka26b/paypal_bl... (a german company, in germany, selling cuban cigars, to a german, got as result threats from their payment processors (US companies)). Or cases like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_for_Worldwide_Interbank_Financial_Telecommunication#U.S._control_over_transactions_within_the_EU https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_for_Worldwide_Interban... The US has constantly stolen money from EU citizen doing business in the EU for violating US laws. And then there’s the Kim Dotcom case. Also similar story, US enforcing US law in New Zealand and Germany. The US deserves some of its own medicine.
