I repeatedly asserted I have no problem with hosts having having to comply to national/EU/trade-deal law.

But in my opinion compliance is reached if they just do geoblocking in the areas affected by the law/delete content if it's originating there? If someone uses a VPN he's basically traveling to another jurisdiction for all practical purposes?

Compliance is reached once you have complied with what the court has ordered :)

And you don't care if the court has the standards of an autocracy?
