Are you sure of that ? I knew that the competent jurisprudence or "forum" is that of the user, or everyone could circumvent the law using "offshore" companies to track people in regulated countries (i.e. EU). I was reading here on HN that , for that reason ( avoid EU Regulation ) sites like New York Times, blocked the availability of their contents in whole EU. I was checking, see here, for example: https://reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/many-eu-visi...

Insofar as what the jurisdictions the website operators are beholden to or perhaps care about have to say about it, but otherwise I (not a laywer) share your perspective.
