I am certainly not a lawyer, but I don't see a reason why Google would be concerned if somebody else set up a mirror site of golang.org that is accessible from all countries. If the site you suggest is under Google's control, then Google has to follow U.S. law. Hosting it somewhere else is irrelevant.
