This is purely your fantasy and nothing more. Not only websites send data to countries their operators never heard of, physical goods get shipped overseas to countries senders never heard of with zero randomland lawabidery happening. Actual deranged countries like mine are fucking furious about it, writing laws that would’ve forced companies to open regional departments so that they have something to grab by the balls. Since said laws have zero jurisdiction on said companies, the most the country can do about it is cry and block the traffic.
Google was a notable exception, opening a department to manage Google cache servers physically scattered around the country. Google has since left. Google has then been fined for several undecillion dollars, a number exceeding world GDP. Google, of course, doesn’t give a flying fuck.
So, don’t be as pathetic as my country. If you aren’t under X country jurisdiction, no amount of “pretty settled laws” apply to you, so you don’t have to abide by anything X wishes, claims or misleads you about. Sending virtual data or physical goods there doesn’t count either.
Of course blocking is the last resort and why countries like Iran block websites. Nobody was saying it isn’t the last resort. Your country being a limp noodle about it’s Internet doesn’t mean impossible though or even the norm. It has the Jurisdiction to enforce rules.
