> What if Australia ruled that Google must keep all data on all people worldwide and forbid deletions. Should that override all other country laws? If not, why should the EU law affect other countries?

This is already the current situation and it's a mess.

Countries have laws to force removal of personal information if the user requests it. Other countries have laws to force the company to keep user information for X years.

It's a total mess. Just f* the law and pretend that everything is alright when you do the certifications :D
