Is committing cyber crimes in the middle of the ocean legal? (I’m asking for a friend)
comments
The country your ship is registered in is the one where the laws apply I think. You could just go somewhere that doesn’t extradite which would be easier than the ocean
only one way to find out!
How would you do that
Starlink
If you committed the crime against a Western (US-aligned country) like Israel for example, and then went to shore in Iran or something, they would probably not arrest you and wouldn’t extradite you. Like Edward Snowden, who leaked classified documents and now lives in exile in Russia.
Snowden is my hero
If you live in the ocean for the rest of your life afterward, yes; no one can stop you. Otherwise the next country you pull you ship into will have the ability take action against your crime(s).
Since you have an eagle in your pfp I trust you
This is my retirement plan
is the crime piracy?
Uhh, I guess? Or like hacking or DDOSing someone? Ig anything that’s illegal
it's still prosecutable I think
