>If Facebook doesn't want to account for a country's laws, Facebook needs to make sure it never hires employees in that country, never has any key personnel visit that country even briefly, etc. In practice, that means that nobody can ever travel internationally. It's impossible for anyone to know for sure that they've never broken the laws of another country. It's barely possible to know if you're abiding by the laws of your own country[1]. Facebook might filter out lèse–majesté comments to Thai users, but how can they be sure that the filters caught everything? How can they be sure that a user didn't circumvent their filtering? How can they be sure that the Thai judiciary will accept their defence that "we did everything we could to stop it, but something slipped through the net"? Even if Facebook employees never travel to Thailand, how can they be sure that they won't be extradited from a country that's sympathetic to Thailand's lèse–majesté laws? I don't know what the solution is, but there are clearly immense risks here. America's habitual snatch-and-grab arrests of foreign nationals has legitimised all manner of human rights abuses.
