In fact yes. But if some dev is treated badly by that website and they know about this, they can direct legislators to that site saying it's illegal. And in this case that website has problems

Depends on what legislation the website is hosted and/or the company is ? Not a layer, just trying to learn.

maybe, but there are different ways to deal with infractions. Fines and blocking are among the first, but I'm sure govs will do everything possible to get some money in some way if they can
