I'm less certain of the following but as I understand it: if the event in question involves telephone/fiber lines or airwaves, it's usually a shoe-in for Fed jurisdiction anyway because those are generally regulated by some Fed agency and/or travel at some point through Fed-owned, regulated, or operated assets.
- justaguy88 6y agoI'm now wondering if it's possible to make a within-state-only messaging service. What would something look like that manages to avoid Federal jurisdiction as much as possible?
- aitkenably 6y agoYou’d have to take into consideration Federal lands within states where federal laws apply: National Parks, military installations, and other Federal buildings like courthouses. U.S. jurisdiction is complicated.
- djoldman 6y agoIf your service sends signals from cellphones (radio waves), those are regulated by the FCC... Fed jurisdiction extends in weird ways.
