      TikTok app merely being operational in the US is not presence. Implying that would be as ridiculous as giving a country jurisdiction over you becaues you sent a letter there.

        It absolutely is presence. Otherwise the Brazilians couldn’t deal with X either. This is far more than sending a letter. And pretending we have no jurisdiction over companies operating in our country is ridiculous.

          Any real arguments for falling under jurisdiction for sending network packets? Does it have to be a company, or do you also have to abide by jurisdiction of the country I’m in? My server is in? Your server is in?

            This isn’t a joke. This is pretty settled law. If you’re offering services in a country you must abide by their laws.
