Encouraging people outside the US to live as though they live inside it, is neither wise nor ethical.
On the other hand, this is what happens (o could have happened) in other parts of the Terms of use which apply to /users/ (not their contributions) the USA laws where they're more restrictive. The whole section "Refraining from Certain Activities" has this problem, which is very hard to avoid given that nobody really knows what the "applicable law" is. There was a lot of work on this part as well, I'm not able to judge the results. Both problems originate from the decision to enforce via a private contract the state laws (privatization of justice or statement of the obvious? I don't know). The old ToU left everything implicit (or were reticent, depending on how you see it).
