I haven't looked at the code, but maybe this site doesn't redistribute anything, either.
And just because something's executing on the server side, that really shouldn't necessarily change the legality of it. (Hell, maybe Safari or Chrome look like they're doing it locally and tunnel data through a cache server.)
Not to detract from all the valid points raised in this thread, but the elephant in the room is that an individual’s level of education is generally associated with increased intelligence, and higher intelligence is associated with much higher rates of almost all psych diagnoses.
The same is also true in most other areas of higher personal achievement: lawyers, CEOs, politicians, etc are all disproportionately on various spectrums of depression, substance abuse, sociopathy, narcissism, and so forth.
At least part of the problem is how we view mental conditions as a society, which leads people to think that this is abnormal.
> I can see the courts point: International websites have to respect local laws
No, they don’t, and shouldn’t.
I’m free to offend the sensibilities of China, disgrace the Ayatollah, and violate a wide variety of other “local laws” from the comfort of my home or workplace.
If those places don’t like it, they’re also free to censor content until such time that their populace won’t tolerate it any longer.
In much of the conservative south, the stigma surrounding opioids never left, and economically underprivileged people have been suffering ever since.
Over the past decade, one of my longer-haired male family members has on separate occasions been forced to endure sizable fractures and even orthopedic debridement without analgesics.
The greatest irony is that tightened controls only seem to exacerbate substance abuse in communities with epidemic problems.
I grew up in a small town and have a hard time understanding why it's so contentious to add another major facility in a big city like Dallas or Austin.
It makes almost no impact on things like traffic or social services at a population scale. (In reality, even a HQ1 type facility is just another +0.3% for DFW or +1% for ATX, which is equivalent to hastening net growth by a few months at most.)
Regular programming may not be getting dumber, but the commercials most definitely are.
I haven't had a TV in 10 years and when I'm at someones house who does, the difference is immediately apparent, especially during the late night segments.
The average early AM commercial now (at least in my area) is literally so bad that it feels like advertisers just assume that their average viewer is mentally challenged or emotionally unstable in some way. It's almost like watching a SNL skit or a fake commercial within a really bad B-grade movie.
If someone could make a version of this report that weighted toxicants for TD50 per km², it would be interesting to see the data plotted against epidemiology rates in the same areas.
The required equipment makes magnetic data unlikely to be recoverable except in exclusive cases where certain government agencies with sophisticated labs get involved, but in short, storage leaves lasting (trace) physical changes behind.
SSDs and operating systems without proper Secure Erase support can very easily leave behind complete data.

"Hey sumitgt, can you help me get $university's site to work? I need to turn in my homework before midnight, but the page says something about Internet Explorer and Adobe Flash."
Computer programmers have parents who are computer programmers at a rate 6 times the rest of the population. This is higher than most of the jobs on our list.
