"If your actions are going to effect people in the U.S., obviously you should have to follow U.S. law."
So I assume you also think youtube should follow pakistani law and anyone working at youtube should be held accountable if they ever find themself within their borders? How about pretty much anyone exercising free speech on HN from the US, should they face charges in Europe for hate speech or should YC itself?
- mcintyre1994 13y agoDon't forget they claim the right without you stepping on US soil ever. So it's more like if Pakistan abducted someone working at Youtube from anywhere in the world, then took them to Pakistan to be tried against their local law. Ditto for Europe.
- rayiner 13y agoThe word "effect" has more significance in this context than the weakest possible way you could interpret it. It means something more than simply making something accessible. See: http://itlaw.wikia.com/wiki/Effects_test http://itlaw.wikia.com/wiki/Effects_test
- subsystem 13y agoI'm not necessarily challenging what US law says, but what you think about it.
