But it's a website. It can be accessed by anyone with internet access. Just because my web service is public facing shouldn't mean that I have to comply with with laws from every country/planet my application is accessible from. That's just my ignorant thinking anyway.
If I'm obeying my local laws while operating my service, then some other country shouldn't be able to sue me in my own country. Unless there are local USA laws stating that I have to comply with laws from all of these countries that we have treaties with.
I hope it makes sense.
That's fine, they just can block you from doing business there. They don't like taking that approach, so they would prefer to prod behavior with fines over losing an internet service. They have no realistic way of recouping fines. Depending on the country and how the organization is setup, they can lean on cooperation agreements, like I am sure the EU must have agreements.
