I am sorry, but the US does not have the right to indiscriminately act as arbiter of justice throughout the world. The idea of prosecuting foreign nationals for “crimes” that are not crimes in their own country is insane. I can understand the argument that because of the nature of the internet, crimes there are not national, but international, but that does not give the US the unilateral right to prosecute people in other nations for doing something we don’t like.
