what you write is not only the jurisdiction

I think you a word there.

It's fairly absurd to say anyone who posts anything online should follow the laws of all places where whatever they posted could be read.

If you publish something, it can be read everywhere. There should be no surprise that people will judge your words based on their customs, on their laws, on their terms, and they will act within their jurisdiction.

But that goes both ways: if a "Nigerian prince" scams you, you will not stop just because you were originally out of his jurisdiction.
