US has been regulating activity outside of its borders for a loooooooong time. Look at the restrictions placed on the US financial system to combat money laundering. You can be indicted for "mis-using" the US financial system even if you are sitting in a place where we have no formal jurisdiction, but a legal assistance treaty does exist.
- gmueckl 7y agoThe key here is the treaty: the other country created explicit law within its jurisdiction by freely agreeing to the treaty.
- GhettoMaestro 7y agoFair point. Although, I will point out the United States has a similar instrument of enforcing its way around the world. However, it isn't GPDR, but rather the AGM-114 Hellfire missile. Not that I really disagree with most of the cases. But still, it is enforcing one's political will beyond "official" borders, short of declaring war.
