You can’t force people to operate in your country. The EU does not have sovereignty over the whole world. This is nonsense and is certainly not what is contemplated by the law.

Making it undesirable for some businesses to operate in your country is part of the cost-benefit analysis you have to do when passing laws.

The EU is overplaying its hand by claiming global sovereignty. If the EU really wants to play hard ball, the rest of the world can impose sanctions against the EU and bureaucrats who try to enforce illegal laws

You guys really dont understand this law. Or how it is going to be enforced.

EU will regulate what businesses doing business in the EU can do.

All other talk is just noise.

Nobody is claiming global anything, the rest of the world is not the US, and illegal law is an oximoron.

The supreme court and the constitution would beg to differ.

Wrong. Just because a few guys vote on something and then write it down on a piece of paper doesn't make it lawful.
