US laws generally only hold for US citizens and US companies.
The US had no issues using the NSA to spy on German IP and even bug the cellphone of Angela Merkel. And well, given that no consequences ever materialized, it won't seem like they'd need to stop at any time.
So given that, thinking that the US has "strong laws" is a tad naive. You know, since literally the opposite already happened.

- perl4ever 6y agoThere must be something lacking in this viewpoint, that US law is a liability for non-Americans, when you consider how entities around the world issue financial securities that are subject to US law when they could just not do that. I'm thinking, for example, of reading about Argentina issuing bonds governed by US law, in US currency.
