I don’t know why you think that.
We don’t “do commerce” in America. All of the “commerce” that is happening on this site is in the EU. That’s where all the monies are being spent. If you buy an ad from us, you are buying that ad in the EU. If you donate money to the site, that money gets paid to an EU account.
We fully, and quite happily, pay no attention at all to the U.S.‘s laws, such as Homeland Security’s requirements for service providers and content hosts, because we’re in the EU. Not the U.S.
If you are a U.S. citizen, you are of course responsible for the laws of your jurisdiction, and thus your internet activities are subject to the laws of the U.S.
But the U.S. doesn’t have anything to say about what we do, or how we do it. Because we’re fully based in the EU.
If, hypothetically, the U.S. made a law saying that something we are doing was illegal, we could just block requests from the U.S. and then ignore it.
I don’t know that we would, but we could literally block everyone in the U.S. from accessing the site, if the U.S. made a law saying that it was somehow illegal for companies in other countries to make content available to its citizens.
I mean, if you want historical precedence for this kind of thing, just look at how we handled Russia.
