• On the "has links to the UK" I found it defined in the early part of the bill.

    5.a = significant numbers of users in the UK
    5.b = UK forms a/the target market for the service

    Section 6 mentions it but requires "material risk of significant harm to individuals in the UK arising from [the service]" - but this probably does not apply. However section 5 already applies.

    I'm not really sure how that would work... I mean, if it was a US entity with no employees or business presence in the UK, merely UK based users... why would the UK imagine we could force our laws onto a legal entity of another country with no business links to the UK and not falling under the jurisdiction of the UK? The UK gets to impose it's laws only on itself (people and businesses based in the UK) surely.

    History of colonialism.
