A lot of the US rules in this area came from UK courts trying to enforce defamation/libel related claims on US authors and journalists.

The American consensus basically became that US courts don’t enforce overseas judgments on free speech stuff where the speech would be legal in the US. Even if that speech could be “heard” elsewhere.

See the Ehrenfeld v. Bin Mahfouz case (2005) and subsequent US SPEECH act (2010).
