Why though?
If Norway passed a law saying that all US websites have to include a disclaimer saying Norway is the best country, it would be pretty clear that it doesn't affect me, because Norwegian law doesn't apply to people who aren't in Norway and aren't Norwegian citizens.
I put up a website. If people from the EU visit my website, why does EU law apply to me? Opening a brick and mortar bakery in the US doesn't make me subject to EU food regulations just because somebody from Europe flies over and buys a cake.
