Assuming the article is correct in its interperatation of the law, it is still missing the point. If you do neot operate out of, or do business in, the EU, then the EU has no claim for jurisdiction.
The only simmilar case I can think of is the Isreali law which prohibits entry into the country by anyone supporting BDS. Notably, in this case they are not even claiming that everyone on the planet is required to not support BDS; because it is obvious that they have no jurisdiction to do so.
EDIT: You also have China and Saudi Arabia who have internet restrictions. However, they also do not claim jurisdiction over foreign sites. They only require compliance by sites that operate within their jurisdiction; and have built the infrastructure to enforce their digital border.
- MatthewWilkes 8y agoThen why block the EU to begin with? The argument is clear, blocking users is not a panacea.
