I'm confused to see the SPEECH Act (2010) used as a legal basis: I had thought that act was limited to foreign defamation claims—not as a general First Amendment catch-all. And the text of the law seems (IANAL!) to say that explicitly?

> "Nothing in this section shall be construed to—(1) affect the enforceability of any foreign judgment other than a foreign judgment for defamation..."

Sometimes you have a lot of wall, and not a lot of spaghetti.

I find the lawsuits confusing.

If they consider Ofcom to have no jurisdiction over them, why not just ignore Ofcom?

Why attempt to sue Ofcom in a court that Ofcom could claim has no jurisdiction over itself?

Even if you are confident of that, your infrastructure and advertising partners may not be and may cut you off. A court judgement demonstrating it is definitely not enforceable in the US certainly has value.

It would also be more likely to cause other businesses to adopt the same tactic, which would drown Ofcom's resources to cause further trouble.
