The internet is essentially a worldwide network so having a company claim it only falls under U.S. jurisdiction even though it reaches users everywhere is still an unsolved enigma.
Most U.S. Big Tech companies have willingly set-up shop in Europe, but with increasingly acrimonious legislation putting them in the cross-hairs I wouldn't be surprised if someone like Musk tests if he can get away with merely operating from U.S. soil and ignoring EU legislation.

- UltraViolence 4y agoThe EU believes it can regulate U.S. Big Tech even if they're not operating on EU soil. The Cookie Banner is one example. Most U.S. websites detect European users and show the pop-up accordingly. IMHO a U.S. web-based newspaper or site shouldn't have to do this as long as all its servers are U.S.-based.
