Like GDPR, where they claim like lunatics that their laws apply to every business in the world?

I don’t care how well-meaning or reasonable sounding their laws generally are. They clearly don’t have a clue.

They claim their law applies to their citizens. Especially on the internet, where a company can be 'based' wherever will regulate them the least, this is a reasonable compromise.

Wrong. A law that applies to their citizens would be a law forbidding their citizens from doing business with companies with crappy privacy policies.
