If we are allowed to upload content on to a site but the site does not provide any way to georestrict it, are we still capable of stopping countries we do not target from enforcing or claiming extraterritorial jurisdiction on the fully original educational content.

Assume India is the home jurisdiction.

You cannot stop the claim.

But the good news is that claims of jurisdiction by many countries are routinely ignored by many other countries. So enforcement attempts might fall short.

  • I've written things here that might get me into real trouble with the authorities of North Korea if I ever traveled there and if they were able to match my real-world identity with this account. But I don't plan to travel there.
  • Likewise, before I went to Turkey I should probably review what I've written about their government, and then wonder if it is worth the risk. Probably yes, it wasn't very incendiary.
  • But my home country and those I tend to visit (if there is no pandemic ongoing) would not extradite me for what I wrote.
