...and only US govt. power. UK is outside US, right?

That's not the only thing confusing this US lawyer.

"America will not tolerate Ofcom's behaviour for much longer... Every time they send one of their unenforceable enforcement notices into our country, it adds fuel and urgency to law reform efforts here in the United States," Byrne added.

So urgent law reform to counter unenforceable enforcement notices. Law makers surely have better things on which to waste their time.

Legal reform is needed to prevent American companies from complying with foreign censorship laws.

What happens if a tech company decides to follow EU law worldwide, just because it's more convenient than blocking some stuff just in the EU? That shouldn't be allowed.

    I cannot imagine why any US American company would comply with an unenforceable foriegn enforcement notice.
