That kind of thing happens no?
US based companies are subject to EU privacy laws if they want to operate in EU. Facebook and Google both had to make huge infrastructure investments to comply with the GDPR.
The US fined US based tech companies for not complying with US age restrictions in the past as well.
There isn't anything controversial here. US government makes laws for US citizens and US based companies. Same with every other country on the planet.

- chii 6y ago> fined from EU for GDPR the EU can only fine an EU entity, or prevent you from establishing an EU entity in the future. The EU cannot fine a US company, if that US company does not have any EU operations at all.
