> Can you imagine owning a grocery store and having to ask every customer their nationality to check which law you must follow to do business with them? Thats a bad metaphor. If you open a grocery store in one country you follow the relevant law of said country. If you extend you business to another country the new store has to follow the law of the other country. The problem with physical establishment is that it could create a 'race to the bottom', similar to tax laws. With non-tangible elements like privacy, what stops big players like the USA to implement weak privacy protections to get a competitive edge?
