As I have written in a comment to the same question, my opinion on the matter is that stack exchange at large (unless explicitly in the scope of a stack exchange website related to legal matters) is neither the right place to discuss or settle any legal question in depth, nor to limit, censor, modify or restrict a question or an answer based on local laws (so, obviously, to the exception of international law).

Internet is a worldwide technology, affecting users, well, worldwide; and a question or answer that might be illegal in your country might be perfectly legal in another.

Such example is the stack exchange website crypto.stackexchange.com which I believe to be mostly discussing matters that are illegal in Iran (and possibly India and/or China, and/or other countries).

In my opinion, applying the same policy as on pirated software is a very dangerous and close-minded shortcut: while piracy is mostly illegal worldwide (even if not enforced everywhere consistently), the rights of corporations and other private entities on citizens and public life is highly variable from place to place; and it is objectionable for most of the countries on this planet to consider possible the policy applied in the U.S. on this matter.
