> Can you imagine owning a grocery store and having to ask every customer their nationality to check which law you must follow to do business with them

Can you imagine a grocery chain who wants to profit from potential customers all over the world but doesn't want to obey local laws in the jurisdictions it operates in?

If people don't want to serve people outside their jurisdiction, do an IP lookup as some US outlets chose to do.

Hacky US start-ups don't get to dictate the rules of the game to the world.
