It's not extraterritorial. If an international company wants to sell goods or services in a country, it must abide by the country's laws.

Nope.

If I want to sell data in the EU, I can. I'm not subject to their laws unless I have a presence there.

GDPR tries to change that.

Why is shipping data different? If a certain drug is illegal in the country but not yours do you think you should be allow to sell and ship the drug over?

I mean, drugs would be a problem in both the sending and receiving country, often for both sender and receiver if caught.

This is more like me deciding to try and sue people in other countries because they said something I didn't like on the internet.
