Does this mean the national laws of every country on earth? That's a long list!
I'll be sure to only post nice things about the King of Thailand ;)
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoIt's a cover-your-ass statement; HN and the people running it CAN be held accountable if it's available in Thailand and content that isn't acceptable over there is posted. Although in practice I think countries will opt to block the whole site instead. Anyway, I do think foreign justice departments can in theory subpoena HN for data if their laws have been violated.
- hnick 6y agoI was being cheeky, however, since it's in the ToU then potentially we can and should be censured for such things on this site. Thailand believes such laws are applicable to everyone around the world so my place of residence doesn't really seem to matter regarding "applicable". Just another way that the internet and reality don't get along I suppose.
