Online pharmacy platforms face multi-vector pressure that mainstream hosts cannot withstand:
- US FDA pressure on hosts to terminate foreign pharmacy sites serving US customers
- NABP (National Association of Boards of Pharmacy) complaint programs that pressure hosts
- Payment processor blacklists that force mainstream hosts to terminate pharmacy accounts
- DMCA claims from pharmaceutical manufacturers about product imagery and descriptions
Bulletproof hosts in Romania and Iceland operate outside this pressure system. They evaluate requests based on their local law, which does not create obligations to comply with US regulatory pressure against foreign-operated businesses.
