Except the part where the CANZUK/US/EU blocs generally have reciprocal agreements and Interpol is perfectly empowered to enact international law inside of the US, as of 2009.
Choosing to take this stance in one of the Western Nations is foolish to an almost ignorant degree. If one of them feels you broke a big enough law, it's trivial (at best) to execute upon it.
- kstrauser 2y agoThis isn’t international law. If it had passed, it would have been an EU law without a US counterpart.
- deaddodo 2y agoYes, but you can break EU law outside of the EU, especially digital crimes. Foreign national hackers are arrested all over the western world for offenses in other countries, for instance.

- troad 2y agoThis is complete nonsense (and borderline gibberish - Interpol can't 'enact' any laws in the US). Extradition generally requires that the thing you're being extradited for would also a crime in the jurisdiction you're in. For speech offences, this makes many foreign judgments unenforceable in the US due to the First Amendment, not to mention additional formal protections like the SPEECH Act.
