Do you really want Frontline facebook moderation staff (or many levels between) having the ability to run the kinds of queries required to validate country of origin or other privacy-invading points of validations required?

I don't.

And it takes time for those kinds of queries to reach the (very busy) desks of the purposefully constrained few, who can.

Assuming that this is all a decision that came from front line moderation, which I don't accept but we'll do so for the sake of this argument, yes, I think moderation staff should probably know whether a given post is actually subject to Indian law before removing it on those grounds.
