What if the local laws are bad? I think it would be good to disobey Turkey's law that requires removal of posts criticizing the current leadership.

Agreed, but with many privacy and freedom laws I would agree. I don't think they take it nearly far enough; If I buy hardware, it is mine, and they should open up the means to put whatever on it I want. No one has the balls for that I guess but I would want them to enforce that.

So it’s okay to not follow local laws sometimes?
