Essentially OSA forces people to use foreign services by penalising British providers with compliance costs, thereby increasing dependence on foreign services and big tech.
If the USA is expected to follow UK laws, then must the USA and UK follow the laws of all the other nations connected to the internet? [1] If so that should provide some entertaining fallout.

Why is the UK desperate to demonstrate their ever shrinking power and influence? They’re being dunked on by a website, and one of the least serious websites in existence.
The British people would be most grateful were the American police to tell Ofcom to fuck right off.
> 4chan’s answer has been the same throughout. It operates only in the United States, breaks no American law, and enjoys constitutional protection for what it publishes.
Imagine if big tech had one tenth of this amount of spine, and had insisted on this idea that jurisdiction only applies to where a business operates. But rather they caved (chiefly to China first), fostering terrible precedents that communication creates some kind of legal nexus at the location of the other party to a protocol. The legal regime of the net should have that of people standing on opposite sides of a border and shouting across to one another. Instead it's effectively one world jurisdiction consisting of a superset of laws from all countries powerful enough to strong arm other countries.

Defined by the smallest intersecting set of the lowest common denominator. A free speach where you are allowed to say "hello" and "goodbye".
Goodbye is objectionable as a religious blessing and superstition that is problematic for secular interactions. Hello seems fine though.
