why should one jurisdiction be above another? what even is the jurisdiction of the internet? sorry, but your answer is just out of touch

View on HN

NZ isn't some 3rd world country where someone who broke the law can flee. There are plenty of cases where a non-citizen breaks US Law (ex: Sanctions) and is arrested outside of the USA.

The United States and New Zealand have a number of agreements in place to fight crime and are both are members of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance.

sorry but this makes no sense: if you infrange a US law, but you neither are a US resident or citizen, or you never even been there, why this law should apply to you?

perhaps nz is indeed a US protectorate if it allows this

What part of this situation implies one jurisdiction is above another? This is happening because New Zealand has an extradition treaty with the US that they mutually agreed to.

in this case US law is clearly superior because the guy is not a US citizen, the "crime" wasn't even committed in the US and yet he is extradited, or better say, moved there for what reasons? infringement of us law

fairly soon it will be illegal to stream pornography in the United States, wanna be arrested for looking at PH for 20 seconds while in some free country like China? :)

When exactly will it be illegal to stream porn in the US?

Presumably referring to Project 2025. So 2025?

it already is in some states and soon it will be federal thing. In Virginia for instance, while technically not illegal, no major pornography website operates. soon there will be prison sentences if you do and NZ will be extrading people for looking at boobs :) cause you know - jurisdiction and all that jazz…

elections have consequences…
