Yeah that would not work, since a lot of people are in the US and have no consideration for other countries. I don't see how this is relevant to a community about technology. Sure, if they were using some cool and new technology, or a major law had changed, or even an article about how this works, it would be relevant. But this seems like a US-only PSA that doesn't really tell us anything.
Using upvotes only to moderate this type of content will just result in the Reddit issue, where a lot of general-purpose subreddits (like Politics or News) were completely dominated by US topics.
