Could this potentially result in extradition orders if criminal charges are brought in the UK?

    As a legal matter, it's an open question. The purpose of the lawsuit is to get the courts to officially rule on this matter because it's far reaching implications for the future of free speech on the Internet.

    As a practical matter though, it's completely unenforceable in the US.

  • semiquaver

    No. Extradition generally can only occur over conduct that is criminal in both jurisdictions and speech in particular is protected in US extradition agreements.
