Ok sure. A Government can do whatever it wants in collaboration with another government. regardless of laws, rights, morality, or anything that can be enforced via violence. But I don’t really see that as a “gotcha” or something that you should bring up in normal conversation.

A Lemmy comment section that's talking about people being effectively under the jurisdiction of other governments is not a normal conversation, you dolt.

It's masturbatory to even entertain the notion that anyone would ever be expedited to the EU for disregarding their laws, especially if that person is operating in the US where it is explicitly legal to lie on the internet.
