    As someone already pointed out, that can happen. If you harass the hell out of Germans with hate speech and try to organize a N*zi political party over there from the states, you bet your ass the Germans would ask the US for you if you were successful enough for them to go through the effort.

    That or they’d just merc you like India just did to the one guy in Canada.

      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.
