Internet territories?

Question

If you enter a website that is owned by a different country, and that country says that no one has freedom of speech. Could you still get in trouble for speaking your mind if you're in the USA? Are you technically in that other countries territory while you're on their web page? Or could both laws apply?

Answer 1

No, you would not get in trouble. If the country has no freedom of speech, it is unlikely that they would be allowing open discussion, but in the case that they were, they could only punish their own citizens.

There is no "territory" in the open internet, unless we're talking about the areas that are strictly firewalled, like China's. In any case, an American is safe in America as far as freedom of speech goes.
