Not true. With the notable exception of malware and an ambiguous thin line on cracking software, these regulations only apply to operational facilitation, usually requiring financial participation in the activity. Of course when the activity is associated with terrorism, treason, or ‘crimes against humanity’, almost anything goes.

But, reality check, it will not be a matter of laws once the threat becomes existential.
