Let’s say German court rules that X cannot operate in Germany. X decides to shut down any brick&mortar locations in Germany including any data centers located in Germany, but they do not stop Germans from accessing a public web service located outside Germany. What’s the point? Will they then go after Germans continuing to use X?
Or they could make Xitter /ʃɪtə/ unavailable in Germany? The Brazilian judiciary did the same, except that they did it in such a stupid way that Xitter was back a month later.
