    I mean, pornhub pulled access to their website from my state and others because of state laws. Surely it couldn’t be that hard for X

      It’s not an out difficulty but the onus of responsibility.

      If someone next to you is eating lunch you don’t like, you don’t ask them to leave the room. You leave instead.

        Ok… but your analogy doesn’t make any sense in this context. X isn’t eating lunch next to the EU. They’re selling sandwiches over the internet in the EU. The EU sent a letter pointing out that his sandwiches in the past have contained shit and we now have laws in place regarding shit filled sandwiches, so do not sell sandwiches that contain shit within our borders or we will pursue legal action against you.

        Also, quit your bullshit. If the EU just blocked it outright there’d be a huge outcry about them censoring free speech.

          No, X is selling lunches at its house. Europeans are walking in off the street and entering it.

          The Internet is not the physical domain of Europeans.

          If you don’t want Europeans going to the site, block it on your fucking end.

            They’re sitting in Europe selling lunches. More specifically, ads. They’re also sitting in Europe preparing lunches, more specifically, they have servers here. If they don’t want to be beholden to EU law then they should stop doing both.
