"non regional" implies "anything goes"... since no one has control over it, people do shady things on those domains and nothing can really be done about it...
bullshit

you still have to obey the laws when you operate in a country

google still has to obey privacy laws for EU and canada when they film canadians houses for their street view

the difference between getting a court order to block US traffic from going to domain X

is totally different then taking domain X away from the owner just because US laws something that 100% legal somewhere else illegal.

the former only applys the laws appropriately

the latter takes away rights from people in foreign countries.
