If you post something libilus under US law (which is the only law that matters) and the person finds it fast enough they can get a court order and get the relivant server logs from wikipedia. If you don't log in then I'm afaraid we can't protect you from being stupid. You can't expect the foundation not to respect a US court order. As a result the fact is that under certian conditions posting something false on wikipedia could get you into legal trouble. It is important people understand this.
The reference to authoritarian countries is a red herring. Assumeing you avoid local monitoring it is only US law you have to worry about because only US law affects the foundation.
Presumably the servers in Paris, Amsterdam and Korea would pose a problem here...

They are not database servers only squids so we are probably safe. We could also drop them if it became a problem.
