This is quite a slippery slope. If I host a website in one country, I do not necessarily care where people access my website from. It is not like I actively provide a service to them - they just use internet (decentralised network) to access it. What if I publish a newspaper here, someone takes it where the contents are illegal, am I accountable?

If you travel to their jurisdiction, yes.

Many countries countries witch apply their laws outside there jurisdiction and borders

USA (Kim dotcom)

Russia (Skripals)

China (Teng Bio)

Israel (Mordechai Vanunu)

The Mordechai Vanunu case is a bit different as he was convicted of treason (he leaked details of Israel's nuclear bombs while in Britain).

It makes sense for treason to apply everywhere. If that were not the case Britain could not have executed Lord Haw-Haw given that he only sent broadcasts from Nazi Germany.
