Sure, but ISP conducting Wikipedia Zero programs are. :) WMF is just
facilitating the activities being speculated about as potentially
illegal in some countries, I don't think anyone here suggested that WMF
is breaching the law.
The whole thread is rather speculative of course; perhaps an analogous
question would be whether it would be appropriate for a WMF grant to
fund an activity e.g. in France which would be illegal in Germany. WMF
did and does force (some) entities in other countries to follow (some?)
USA laws, out of moral or legal reasons.
All this just to say that the question of the original poster should not
be considered an attack...
