I'm not any sort of legal authority either, but my sense is that the
laws of a local jurisdiction the user happens to be in apply regardless
of citizenship status.  I have heard, again no legal authority, that
persons traveling outside their country may face prosecution for acts
that are legal in the destination but not at home.

Point being that people need to be cognizant of the laws that apply.
