This kind of ridiculous laws do not understand the boundless nature of internet. If you want to protect privacy of netizens simply make a universal law instead of having different laws in different countries.

Since the Internet is not a fiefdom, universal law is moot. Nation states will draft tracking laws that are only only enforceable through tracking in an attempt to gain their slice of authoritarian pie. Pointing to the Google or US is typical strawman BS and gives people a false sense of security because they should assume everyone, not just the Google, is tracking them. Getting people to own their data is an uphill climb, but is ultimately what will curb the negative behavior we're witnessing.
We need a RFC for protecting the internet.
I’m afraid it does understand the boundless nature of the internet, and it wants the owner of the server to do something about it.
Other countries may not want to protect privacy at all. Italians are making rules to protect Italians.
We need RFC’s , We do not need stupid laws written hundreds of years ago.
How does one "simply make a universal law"?
By publishing a RFC.
An RFC won't compel people or companies in the way you hope. An RFC is a request and nothing more. A law is driven by the legal authority of a state and is backed by corporate & financial penalties, prisons, and guns.
