Today I learned that a foreign government operates in Texas.

I didn't know that Texas is supporting and promoting the North Korean government: http://naenara.com.kp/main/index/en/first

I wonder why they aren't being called out for anti-American terrorist groups.

Not a .com domain, so out of reach. Anything within US reach, individuals or entities, is fair game from a US judicial system perspective.

Everyone learns this the hard way, it seems.

I think he means since IANA/ICANN assings country LTD, so technically it's also under USA jurisdiction.

Waiting for the day when texas court demands deleting .ee LTD (since estonia is currently only country which has fought agaisnt age verification laws)

you'll find people in the thread saying that if its accessible in texas, its in Texas

under that setup, yes, twxas is illegally breaking US sanctions against north korea

A federal court, sure. But this was a state court ruling on a state law.

My other comment in this thread has citations demonstrating SCOTUS support and approval for Texas to enforce these laws, as well as links to statue trackers showing where states and countries have implemented these age validation requirements for social media and adult content sites.

It was a choice by Motherless and their holding company, Kick Online, to egregiously ignore Texas law; the law has been found sound by the US Supreme Court, and enforceable by Texas. These are the facts of the situation. Everything else to discuss on this is feelings and opinion, unless there are relevant facts not yet shared or discovered.

Importantly "egregious" is also opinion.

The other point of view is that they "very reasonably" ignored Texas law because they're not in Texas.

The Supreme Court found that the law was valid, but that ruling doesn't mean it necessarily applies in a situation like this.

Article IV, Section I

Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State.

That doesn't give them nexus.
