Given that it's a US president writing an Executive Order that does nothing and only applies to US law - not to the rest of the world, it's interesting that Americans react by saying "the internet" is over. It wouldn't be. There are many things people can't do in the US that are allowed abroad. And "the internet" happens out of the US.
Once again because in my first post it wasn't clear but this doesn't apply to KF, it's just hypothetical and in general:
so: no, not referring to KF here:
suppose a US citizen has a website in the US owned by an American LLC - and suppose the law say changes and the liability of an American Limited Liability corporation in no longer limited and in these cases goes beyond the assets of the company. This makes it all fall under US law.
suppose the website gets a Venezuelan .ve domain or a .cf Centroafrican domain. Suppose the website is hosted on a few mirrors in countries outside the US.
Suppose the owner is not a US LLC but a company created abroad by someone who is only in name director/owner of the company. This local person, let's call him Igor Ivanov and his company Sperg. So Igor Ivanov opened Sperg in Armenia, Sperg bought the domain in Venezuela, the servers are hosted in a few various countries. Sperg opens various bank accounts.
Then Igor Ivanov signs powers of attorney for the Real Owner in the name of Sperg and gives the Real Owner logins, passwords, etc. Igor Ivanov also hands the Real Owner an undated resignation letter. Should Igor Ivanov actually be a "real director" and touch the money, the Real Owner can fill in the date and show the bank that the transaction was not allowed.
At this point we have an Armenian company owned by an Armenian national. The Armenian company is not a US company and opens bank accounts where it wants without any FATCA reporting. The Armenian company owns and operates the website, which is hosted outside the US and is a foreign TLD.
The Real Owner has just powers of attorney, how on earth would he be sued??? the personal liability, if any, would be with the nominal owner in Armenia. Because it's a civil case, the plaintiff must prove to the court everything.
So if the plaintiff goes to a US court, they will first have to prove jurisdiction and suppose they do, any further action will need to be taken by letter rogatory in Armenia, with an Armenian lawyer who needs a power of attorney and everything authenticated and translated according to the Convention of Vienna (notary public recognises the signature, the signature is recognised by a notary public who is on the State Dept list, the signature of the State Dept is recognised by the Embassy with jurisdiction over Wash., DC). In the meantime Sperg Armenia already dissolved and its assets (bank accounts, websites) were bought by Troll Macedonia.
You see where this is going? If it works by shielding the actual owners of hundreds of millions of dollars from ownership - and these are war criminals, etc., surely such a scheme can shield a website owner from being sued from a fat person.
If somebody found it confusing it's meant to be. That's the point.
Again this is not regarding KF specifically but in general.
@SigSauer: yes I know, try writing letters and postcards. The world well apart when they invented the printing press, in the good old days we had monks writing on parchment. And about Jews spying on everyone: since you seem to imply that all Jews are the same and part of the Great Conspiracy (from pork-eating couldn't-care-less Jews to the bearded, funny hat ones that have no internet and no phones because it's a sin), why don't you go to a very reform synagogue, say you want to be Jewish but eat pork etc., convert, then you'll get the Secret Jewish login and the Secret Jewish password to the Secret Jewish website. Since the Jews rule everything then join them and you will be rich and have bath-tubs of gold.
Oh and you are right too, everything the military invent has a sinister purpose, prosthetic limbs come to my mind, I am sure they all contain Secret Chips.
