More like researchers needs to take classes on law jurisdictions. They seemingly to believes that both laws have jurisdictions over everyone in the world, including countries and states that don't have such laws which causes people to be confused with it since it have legal statement. The researchers created this issue because they don't understand (or tried to understand) the laws nor they do not screen their statements. The liability is not on the law, the liability falls on the researcher especially with "human subject" comment. Therefore, the researchers are likely to be in violation with their university IRB. The legal statement is forcing people (that are not applicable to them) to respond which in turn violated the ethics of IRB because they did not consent to this research. By 'forcing' them to respond to the research that they don't have people consent to do so will run afoul with IRB.
