Do they have any rule that says you need a minimum number of users on a site to fall under the law?

If servers of someinstance.co.au fine if they move to hosting in Finland?

It just feels like a nightmare.

    selling Italian goods…

    A better analogy would be ‘Australian buys Italian goods from online store in Australia’. Under your analogy no, because nothing at all is done in Australia, where your online shop would be, therefore it’d be subject to Australian law.

    It’s still not a very effective law, though.

      A better analogy would be ‘Australian buys Italian goods from online store in Australia’.

      The entire point of the analogy is that we are eschewing “online” stuff so that we can see how “bUt On tHE iNTeRnEt” applies, so “but make it an online store” is literally missing the point.

      Better analogy in that sense would be still “Australian sends an agent to buy something from a physical store in Italy after finding a printed catalog that a third party imported into Australia from Italy”.
