That's actually... interesting. It's a well established tactic to go to another country and publish your stuff from there if you like to keep annoying a government or institution. You know, Snowden is in Russia, some Russian journalists are in EU countries. It happens all the time since ever.

What if someone creates a Telegram group where developers from hostile countries(like US&Iran, UK&Russia, Japan&China) pass each other projects that are not obviously illegal but not feasible due to risk of persecution?

In this case, If FB thinks it has a case can try its luck by sending Google a scary looking letter then proceed to compel Google to remove the extension by court order.
