You do see how a U.S. court could exercise such authority, though, I trust?

Hopefully you can further see how a company located in the U.S. might have standing to challenge in civil court a law that requires that company to spend a significant amount of money to alter their operations by way of a forced migration to a different TLD?

Presumably you also understand that U.S. courts are frequently the venue for international dispute resolution when the dispute arises from enforcement of U.S. law?

Do you really believe that .XXX use could be made mandatory without facing any court scrutiny?

I get the sense that we agree more than we disagree here, honestly.... unless you are of the opinion that .XXX could be made mandatory without that requirement being subject to legal challenge? If so.... well, then I disagree, and I'm happy to simply leave it at that.
