It is hard to understand because often those laws are contradictory (the US first and second amendment rights contradict the laws of many countries).

It also doesn’t make sense in relation to how courts work practically; courts enforce your rights by punishing entities that violate them. If the local court doesn’t care about your rights from your other countries, and a local entity violates them, in what sense do you practically have those rights?

Because (in this case) the EU will punish Apple in the EU for taking away your rights, even though you are not in the EU. Your rights still apply.

You very much do have those rights in a practical sense.
