Different jurisdiction to what? :)

My UK-based employer seems nonchalant about expecting me to agree to be subject to the laws and courts of California in order to receive internal company newsletters delivered via a 3rd party.

While I agree this is harmful to the user (or unpatriotic, if you prefer), it's extremely common thanks to the state of the global economy since the 1980s.

I'd wager that 99% of people in the UK would now be unable to contact their friends and family without relying on at least 1 large U.S. company.
