The same way Attorneys General from midwestern states can sue coastal tech firms with no offices there: jurisdiction over where the users being harmed are.

The EU is a single market, for good or for ill.
- scarface74 5y agoApple actively sells devices in every state. It accepts credit card users from every state. If I only sold a physical product in GA and someone from Texas bought it and took it home. They could only sue me in GA under GA laws. The US is also a “single market”. But each state has its own laws.
- sangnoir 5y agoThere's also federal law. The AGs may not be (directly) involved - but there's an umbrella jurisdiction for consumers to get satisfaction. Just like the EU.
