Comment on State Department confirms federal censorship shield law incomingparent

Comments

That analogy would make sense if Ofcom was proposing to enforce UK rules only on UK citizens living in the US.

The main point is that America demands aggressive compliance with its laws from allies outside of US jurisdiction, and making a law that says other countries can make no demands of the US will frustrate the relationship between nations, especially during a time when America is seen as particularly aggressive, like placing heavy tariffs on its closest allies.

Is that the point? Seems to me that if US citizens abroad pay taxes, they should be entitled to US government protection from censorship.
