I strongly agree! I liie the variations and local differences. The local decision making power. I don’t want it all to be the same.
I just think with the internet, while our bodies may be in one place, we interact with people from so many other places. For example, in this thread, I may be interacting with people from maybe 5 different US states and maybe 5 other countries. Which region’s law applies? The one where I am physically present? The one where the HN owner is registered? The one where the HN server is located?
If an employee lives in Florida but works for Facebook remotely, a company based in California but maybe registered in Delaware, which state’s labor laws apply to that employee?
Maybe these things are obvious to others and I’m just far behind on understanding legal jurisdiction, but I just think things aren’t so clearly defined as “local” anymore.
