Should foreign owned media obey the laws of the countries they operate in, or be supranational and above those laws?

  A better question is, should we wall off autocratic states instead of granting them access to servers to rifle through people's text messages and email as they please? Why not? Do these autocratic countries obey the laws of the countries they attack with bots seeking to destabilize discourse? Espionage? Harassment? All government-sanctioned. Also lots of crime.. theft of IP, copyright violations, straight-up fraud, etc. They should apologize for being such poor global citizens.

    The three countries cited here are all democracies. Turkey just had an election only last month. As for 'de-stabilising discourse', this is exactly the accusation India, Turkey and Nigeria level at the US of doing via it's corporate proxies, in this case Twitter

      Twitter is not a corporate proxy of the US government. Is that a piece of propaganda you were spoon-fed by your government?
