There are ways. How about: arrest ClearView top brass on their next visit to Europe? Remember the Huawei heir who got sent to jail on a trip to Canada. Do the ClearView head honchos really want to be confined to travelling within the US? So while it might be difficult to go after ClearView in the US, France (and the rest of the EU, the UK, Canada, Australia) would become no-go zones for ClearView staff. Not to mention that these countries could also seize assets owned by ClearView leadership, as long as these are within their jurisdiction. In an interconnected world, it is exceedingly difficult to avoid such scenario.

The question is rather: would the US step up and put pressure on the French if events would unfold in this way?
