Re: Doom for US tech companies

What the US says basically trumps local law.

Only in the eyes of the US.

The local lawmakers still believe - rightly, IMO - that their laws apply in their territories.

This leaves US companies in something of an invidious position; it is entirely possible that, whatever they choose to do, they will be breaking one or other of the laws that apply to them.

I don't see this ending well...
