Do you have any reason to believe that your interlocutor is in favor of the U.S. government enforcing regulations beyond its borders?

Yes. The entire internet is US-shaped. From social networks applying ridiculous puritan beliefs globally to the madness that is the TLD system, DMCA, the CLOUD act… all the way to the NSA spying on non-US citizens to protect themselves.

A Puerto-Rican crypto bro wouldn’t have a career without the USA exerting their will and regulations onto the rest of the world.

I think most American tech people are against most of those things? Why would they not have careers without them?

So: no, you do not in fact have any reason to believe that, and you are just assuming it without any evidence.
