GDPR also claims to be able to charge you for a crime even if you've never been to Europe (FWIW its mostly aimed at large corporations and I don't believe I've heard of them using it for anything other than civil fines but on paper they claim to have that authority even outside of their own borders) and during the big riots in UK last year there were law enforcement agencies threatening to prosecute Americans for inciting the riots remotely over the internet (once again they didn't actually do it but they do claim to have that authority and have threatened to use it).
