I don't think affecting a worldwide result using laws affecting companies based on your country is the same thing.

However I am curious, do you know of any example where a country ordered a company not based in their country to change something for other countries including the country they were based in? Surely there are sweatshop or other working condition examples, I just can't find any where the changes were required to apply for operation in other countries too. I suppose it would be like your answer to my hypothetical, I'm just curious if it has ever happened.

> It would be completely justified in requiring this to happen worldwide

I disagree if the company isn't based there (assuming by justification you meant to us as humans as opposed to legal justification).
