As did I.
But that's not necessarily what a court might believe. The UK is famous
for its libel law's extensive reach. An event need not have any
relation to such a court's physical jurisdiction, and yet they might

While that can get very complicated for electronic interaction, for the
example you chose to cite it is very clear. If Charlie Hebdo's cover
violates local law where you are reading it, you have chosen to ask for
more trouble than just a discussion with the IETF harrasment ombudsman.
Indeed.
