> I believe the same happens in the US, one state such as California will make progressive law changes that force companies to just apply the same standards across other states as it's less legal and regulatory burden, so effectively one state can actually change the system for everyone, no global super government required.

I almost bought a car from Carvana. They had all my info: driver's license images, SSN, etc. At the last minute they required a DocuSign signature, which I told them upfront I wouldn't use, so I canceled the deal.

Afterward, I told them I wanted all of my info deleted since we didn't do a transaction. They said they could only do that for CA residents. A CA law is not going to cause companies to follow that law for all US citizens if it's to the company's advantage not to follow it.
