The ruling settled one question: a US court won&rsquo;t stop a foreign regulator from fining American sites. It left another open: whether anyone can make them pay.</p> <p>Between April 2025 and June 2026, Britain&rsquo;s online safety regulator, Ofcom, fined nine providers based outside the UK under the Online Safety Act.

The European Commission strongly condemned the move. Emmanuel Macron called it intimidation and coercion. A US judge later issued a temporary order protecting one of the five, Imran Ahmed.</p>
