People often don’t do that [edit: post the entire article like you did] because it can be considered illegal in many countries in to do so (depending on the format).

    Oh, yes, I think it just depends how much legal attention a system has gotten. Some mods don't allow it.

    Well, the mods don’t know where you are posting from. As far as regional legal compliance, I have noticed it highly depends on where the particular instance that the community is hosted on happens to be hosted.

    Feddit.de - for example - has a bunch of sitewide rules that apply to the instance due to the fact that it is hosted in Germany.
