Indian court orders YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter to block "defamatory" video worldwide
When the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled that European courts can order Facebook to takedown content globally, if it's deemed to be illegal in Europe, Facebook warned that the ruling "undermines the long-standing principle that one country does not have the right to impose its laws on another country." Now Facebook's warning is manifesting outside of Europe with an Indian court recently ruling that YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter must block a video globally because it's deemed to be "defamatory" by the court.

'I want to make this fact to stop existing by my global command.' - weakminded people who have no business in government or leadership positions.

If you have no business presence there, they have no authority over you. But they do have authority over the local ISPs.
Also, you'd best be sure you're never on an airplane that gets redirected to land on their turf.

You mean me personally? For having said this?
Did I just get put on another list? Why be concerned to land there again?

Not directly, however that's where extradition treaties, which have the force of law, come into play.

When was the last time a corporation was extradited?

Dunno how corporations are covered in extradition treaties specifically, but it certainly seems like they are as there is the whole Meng Wanzhao thing going on.
