Is it really so unreasonable to expect that countries prosecute people who commit crimes against their citizens with expectation of impunity the next time they visit their country?

You're proposing an alternative where people can just commit crimes with no recourse from the victims simply because a border exists somewhere and they commit the crimes on one side of the border.

Would you expect it to be reasonable for Canadian citizens to be shooting at Americans on the border and it unreasonable for American authorities to arrest them if they came to America?

Physical violence is incomparable to working at a company that did something that would be illegal in a certain jurisdiction. Should the person maintaining Clearview's website be arrested in the EU simply because they work there?

What do you suggest as an alternative? That we live in a world where people can evade legal prosecution simply by incorporating or working for a company that incorporated?

Why isn't violent crime comparable to stalking crime? Why is it socially acceptable to hoard personal information about someone and pictures of them as long as someone does it under the auspices of a business but it's creepy and weird to do it as a lone-wolf stalker type? Maybe they're both terrible and creepy business models and the EU is right to prosecute anyone who does it, articles of incorporation or not.

I'm not sure, but I don't think "I did it from abroad" should just make it OK. The whole point of the GDPR is that personal data is valuable and important. Would you feel the same if Clearview were instead taking people's money?
