How do you "pull out" of the UK if you are not a UK company, you are a US company, hosted in the US, and proxied by Fastly. There's nothing to do? You do not need to abide by UK laws, even if your website is accessible from there.

The UK government does not care. The law applies no matter where you are hosted, where you are incorporated or who is proxiying you.

>You do not need to abide by UK laws, even if your website is accessible from there.

The UK government does not agree.

But its still not the UK government's decision. They don't have sovereignty over other nations, as much as they'd like to think they do.

All they can legally do is bitch and moan and order UK ISPs to block. There's no action they can legally take against Imgur.

I mean its not. Because this is data protection laws, the company is liable, not its employees. (https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/uk-gdpr-guidance-and-re...)

Even in cases where a company causes death, or destruction and the company is found liable, employees are not allowed to be used as standins, employees need to be convicted as well. a conviction isn't fungible, that kinda the point of common law.
