...Yes? The fact that it's basic and they already know how to do it is irrelevant. The law isn't "it's okay to give them advice as long as the advice is sufficiently generic and obvious".
- elif 4y agoSo your position is that wikipedia are terrorists too? Why would their "advise" be exempt?
- samus 4y agoBecause of a similar reasoning why gas station owners don't get complicit in crimes when they sell fuel to potential criminals. At least as long as they can plausibly deny knowing of the crime and they provide similar service than to any other customer. Wikipedia, and the sources where its content comes from, is not intended to help anybody specific. Flying to North Korea and holding a lecture there is firmly beyond the line where the US government starts to care because it demonstrates clear intent. Especially since during the Q&A and other activities other information not available to the public could have been discussed. And even if there was no secret sauce involved, an expert's opinion can still save the North Koreans a lot of time and money when pursuing their goals.
