In this situation they couldn't do that cuz I'm a citizen of country A???

So if I lived and worked in the US but retained non-US citizenship I'd be fine!!!
Crazy...
I.
I doubt it it's that simple. I'm pretty sure that, although the DOJ might not primarily go after sites owned by foreign citizens but hosted in the US, they'd still want their hosting landscape to comply with the regulations. That being said, it would most likely take a hell of a lot of resources to do so. In other words, they might not go after non-US owned sites after all. But then again, this is mere speculation and that's as much as I'm willing to debate about this.
