Comment on 4chan and Kiwi Farms Sue the UK Over its Age Verification Law

they have an obligation(duty) to uphold British law

Let me get this straight, you’re claiming that non-UK citizens acting outside of the UK are subject to UK law?

how’s that hard to grasp

If you are claiming what it seems like you’re claiming then it’s not difficult to grasp, it’s just wrong.

Convenient you’ve specifically not quoted the circumstance in which that should apply. This is companies which serve UK customers in the UK, the fact their servers are offshore and the company is offshore doesn’t matter, they’re doing business in the UK by being made available there and thus must be bound to those laws.

    What are you talking about?! Apple was forced to follow EU regulations and allow side loading, they complied by only making it available in the EU. “This is wrong” and you’re just spouting nonsense. If I want to do business in your country I need to follow your country’s regulations, this includes customer and worker protections.

    Apple was forced to follow EU regulations … so the EU can tell a foreign company
    
    Apple isn’t a foreign company. Their EU headquarters are in Cork:

    They also have offices in Munich, Prague, Copenhagen, Paris, Berlin, Stuttgart, Barcelona and Stockholm:
