I've been noticing this "meme" recently on HN: that since company X (any one of the FAANGs) is American, it is not subject to European law. If it operated in Europe, it absolutely is. Believe it or not, the EU is also a sovereign territory with its own laws.
Can you imagine arguing that American law does not apply to some company operating in the US, because said company was founded in some other country?
