But how would you determine on the internet that an account holder was a US person or not ?
If I claim to be the person X who is a US person by registering for an account in their name, am I then a US person and therefore supposedly exempt from monitoring? Even IP-based clues are not enough as those are not full-proof.
I suspect that both US persons can be just as susceptible to tracking from the Government.
