Ok. So then what? They simply close offices and fire workers in a specific country — but that doesn’t stop people from visiting Google or clicking on ads. If you suggest governments should block websites, then that’s a dangerous path.

It does seems scary because of the implications of it. I'm not sure how to get the balance right, though. We wouldn't be that worried about preventing a company who refused to comply with e.g. product safety regulations from trading.
