With all due respect, you’re making a mistake.
In many cases, perhaps also in this case, an (international) company does not consciously offer a service in a certain country, but residents of that country do use that service.

Because the company in question does not fall under the jurisdiction of that country (after all, it has no establishment there), but the users do (after all, they are residents of that country), a problem arises if that company is required to do something according to the laws in that country. to do.

That country then forces the company into action by blocking it in that country.
It is then up to the company to decide whether to comply with those laws (after which the block will be lifted and users in that country will be able to use the services again) or not to comply with those laws (after which the block will remain in place and the users in that country can no longer use the services).

So, because the company is not under the jurisdiction of a country, that country uses its residents who use that company’s services as a means of coercion to force the company to do something.
