Do you mean “jurisdictions”?



I said "legislations" because the word describes the existence of laws, while "jurisdictions" describes the law enforcement.

There are still some European non-EU countries where you can get an anonymous phone number because laws are not fully enforced.


This is incorrect usage in English I'm afraid, and jurisdictions covers areas with different laws, 'legislations' is not used in this context.


Well, your usage is nonsensical in legal terms. Also, that is not the definition of “jurisdiction”.

Nobody who knows law would use “legislation” in that sense, nor would they recognize it in that context, Humpty Dumpty.
