This is nothing new. Remember when the US pressured Sweden into taking down the pirate bay (Very unsuccessfully)? Using global influence to get countries to do something that they would not do on their own has always been the case.

There's US exceptionalism, but, like in this case, there are also simple MLATs.

> Since when does a judge in NY get to tell Greenland they can't have their registrar sell to Anna's Archive?

Since September 30, 1998, when ICANN was founded in the US.

ICANN is a US-registered company. National registrars are in a relationship with ICANN. Ultimately, if you dig deep enough, the Internet's trust layer is US-owned infrastructure.

That's one of the perks of being a global empire.

Per the article:

> However, most of the intermediaries are foreign entities. Whether they voluntarily comply with a U.S. court order remains to be seen. While some foreign companies have taken action following U.S. injunctions, others have historically ignored them, citing a lack of local jurisdiction.

Since sometime after the WW2 when most of Europe became US vassals.

There is a long history of judges thinking that they can render judgments internationally. (Not just in the US, either.) I suspect it's more performance art than an actual expectation that the judgment will do anything.

Since when does a commission in the EU get to tell the entire World how to treat Personal Data?

Because Greenland likely agreed to it

It's called international law, trade agreements, treaties etc.

since never, gives them a sense of agency though i guess?
