I'm going to be hated and take the opposite position.

If I run a site I don't want to be compliant with the civil practices for all 500+ justifications my site might be used from, plus criminal code.

The internet should be lawless. And if it isn't good for most people to be on a lawless system, then maybe most people don't need to be on the internet. The internet becoming a public space accessed by the majority was the worst thing to happen to the internet.

Of course I understand that the particular subject matter here is sensitive but the general principle here is flawed. I think most of us can admit it when we understand just how retarded the laws of many places can be, and how insane it would be to ask small sites to be compliant with them and how anti-freedom it would become given some of the less sensical laws. What can be applied to a large site can be applied to a small site. There has to be some other way this sensitive subject can be addressed besides requiring web sites to track the civil president of every state, and every province, of every country.
