The US is in free trade negotiations with many countries right now, so it would be very easy for any company that wished to serve its US customers from an entirely different country. You will find that very many of the apps you use come from other countries too, and that the US share of the market is getting smaller and smaller. It will not be long before certain apps are simply not made available in the US if there are too many regulations. What I am saying is that legislation in one or another country is becoming less and less effective, and we all need to work internationally.
