Europe is, sadly, one place where if you are in the wrong locality, you
*very much* have to worry about it.

In which locality in europe would you have to worry about posts on usenet?
In my jurisdiction no one cares, and at most, it is the one who posts who is likely to get fined. That said however, freedom of speech is repealed more and more across europe. In one of my jurisdictions you can be fined for saying negro. That is why I enjoy saying negro online, since I can do it without consequences and as an expression of my freedom of speech! =D

First of all, no one in power even knows what usenet is, so no one
will ever look.

No, but the 'busybodies', should they every notice (or be told about

Still waiting for the first usenet related article in the media. Doubt it will ever happen, since the woke busybodies are too retarded to understand anything except facebook.

Third, the responsibility of the post is the posters and not yours
(at least in my jurisdiction).

That is not a common legal framework everywhere.  It is the US
framework due to the DMCA, but other world governments do not have such
liability exclusions for the site operator.

See first sentence. Genuinely curious about which european countries to avoid, until I retire in the US.

At _worst_ your responsibility is to remove the content from your
servers, if asked.  Otherwise, nothing to worry about.

Not in all countries.  In some countries, the mere fact that your
server had it, for even a millisecond, available for someone to see is
enouogh to get you, the site operator, a trip to the gulag.

See first sentence.

Try setting up a webserver in Thiland or Indonesia and insulting the
royal family of each respective country.

Not relevant to this.
