Ramsey Khalid Ismael — better known as Johnny Somali, the infamous American streamer arrested in Japan, Israel, and South Korea for his provocative behavior — has been imprisoned in South Korea.
Yes, yes, please tell me how USA laws apply everywhere, and are the greatest laws ever to exist, while your president shits all over your country, disregards all your laws cause he’s got the supreme court in his pocket, brags about committing war crimes at your state of the union, and is off threatening genocides etc. Please, do preach on about USA’s special exceptional status, while the USA is a total dumpster fire.
I’m sure the south korean court was like “Shit guys! We gotta make sure we try this person by American laws here in South Korea!” and all the other foreign countries in which this asshat has operated. This fucker got paid by American streaming companies to commit crimes in foreign countries. If a foreign country’s businesses were paying people to commit crimes in America, I’m sure the Americans would be totally cool trying that foreigner by foreign laws too! They totally wouldn’t just gitmo the guy out of existence, or deport him to El Salvador with ZERO due process.
You may be on to something! They SHOULD emulate America! Deport him to North Korea without due process and let the North deal out whatever Justice they see fit. They execute people for merely WATCHING social media there, I’m sure they’d love to have this dipshit.
Jesus Christ dude, take a breath.
If they are American companies, they are protected by those laws. Which a lot of the big tech companies are.
But again, who hurt you? What part of my comment made it seem like I like shitbag Trump?
They are not protected at all by those laws in S Korea… Sure S Korea might not have much leverage to actually do anything to them if they’re not stationed there. But US laws mean absolute jack shit outside… you know, the US.
Right, you just answered your own question. If they are outside America they have no jurisdiction over the American company. If they are inside America, they are protected by 230.
Oh wow, you really are daft. If so, then why does the EU commission keep fining Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook and others billions of euros?
