I live in Europe and I can certainly see how this seems like a mess and how can a company obey the laws in one country and at the same time being illegal... I just want to point out something that is often neglected. EU Commission is basically a referee entity. It all starts with someone making a formal complaint about Apple or Google or Amazon and then they check into it. And in MOST cases the complainers are other US companies that feel that their complaints are being neglected in their own country(ex Yelp)
