Don't be so sure. The English courts agreed to extradite Richard O'Dwyer to America for link sharing. In the end he avoided it by signing a deferred prosecution agreement and paying a fine.

What exactly do you mean by counterexample? Assange has had access to UK courts to attempt to challenge his extradition, but he hasn't been successful. He's nearly exhausted all the possible things to appeal.
