Well, in Russia it is illegal to run an unrestricted wifi access point - since 2014 you're technically supposed to verify identities of everyone you give access. Many don't, but it's technically illegal - so if they don't like you for whatever reason, then that wifi will be valid reason to punish you, by making you accountable for others using that for illegal means.

And people in Russia have went to jail literally for pressing 'Like' on a single post.
