In my understanding, the "cease and desist" letter from χwitter against XCancel and Nitter is a warning to stop copyright infringement based on US-Law. The US-Law has no effect on most parts of the world. Why cant we just ignore it altogether? I understand that it will be problematic for US- Citizen but everyone else just have to obey their own countries jurisdiction.

Is there a point in the Internets infrastructure that the USA has enough leverage on to stop it anyway? Or am i downplaying the Influence of US Law on judicial decisions in other countries?

Copyright law is highly harmonized in most countries, and has been for a very long time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berne_Convention

I mean you could run it from places that don't really respect copyright laws but that means no EU etc.
