There are some natural bounds on determination of jurisdiction...

There are no nodes beyond Earth, therefore all nodes and connections
fall under laws of Earth... whether land, sea, or air.

Even if a hidden service decides to raise any particular flag, there
is no successful call for aid against, or prosecution of, a 127.0.0.1
that chooses not to identify itself.

So all hidden services are effectively fair game. An interesting
proposition as more services, particularly financial or deeply
social ones, come online.

Perhaps just as interesting is newsbites saying the USA hacks Iran,
or China hacks USA. So for example, will hackers in the USA that
hack China/Iran for fun be ignored by prosecutors, for fun. What
if they do it for spoils... whether financial, intelligence or
otherwise... and optionally give/sell those spoils to USA parties
who would be interested in them? All via exits, or even out in the
open...
