If we insisted on following every law from every jurisdiction on every page in the Wikipedia, I think we'd find ourselves with very little information left.

Sure... let's follow Muslim law by not including any pictures of unveiled women... and Chinese law by not mentioning freedom, democracy, Tianamen Square, or Falun Gong... and there are some countries that severely restrict the use of Nazi symbols or literature, so maybe some of the articles on such topics are in violation. Various religions and political movements are banned in various places, so we should delete all articles on politics or religion to be safe. Some places have passed or proposed laws banning even the provision of information about certain sensitive topics, such as abortion, contraception, or illegal drug use, so some articles might be illegal on those grounds too.
