It is worth remembering that there's no such thing as a "global" company, by the way. These are largely American companies. They are structured to be unaccountable to other countries, and this is one of the ways in which american imperialism works.

Oslo’s extraterritorial enforcement is bound by treaties that set limits on what it can do. It ultimately requires others’ coöperation. In practice, we delegate this to courts. The EU’s track record there is put to shame only by the FTC. Oslo, uniquely, seems to be ignoring the siren calls of fist pounding to populists in favour of prodding Facebook to change.
