Without time travel the nature of a transmission is unchanged by its later
detection.

Exactly how does a transmission on a permitted frequency in one country
become offensive if its later reception is acknowledged in another country
by a transmission on a different frequency which is authorised there ?

Radio Amateurs are neither fifth formers nor should feel need to be
apologetic.

I do not for a moment advocate acting irresponsibly ,but that should not
degenerate into Kow-Towing..we elected "them" and not them us.!
