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.

    Here's a novel idea: introduce US-based international companies to international TLDs.

    Registering .COM/etc. domains is a practice engaged in by international, and non-international, companies and entities in every country on the planet (ignoring one or two outliers like NK possibly.)
     
    ELIMINATING non international TLDs would have an effect, but would be an extremely disruptive approach.
