> The US has never passed a law that is this easy to violate outside of its own borders, is this ripe for abuse, and carries such enormous penalties and burdens for essentially everyone in the world that wants to operate a website.
The US has clearly passed many laws that meet all those criteria but the last (and with much harsher, often criminal rather than merely financial, penalties), so unless you believe that operating a website is somehow a unique class of activity deserving special protection from extraterritorial application of laws, this is a pointless comparison.
And there's actually a number of US laws affecting website operators that arguably meet all three criteria, as other comments point out.
