Nope, everybody on Facebook and Wikipedia is expected to play by Facebook and Wikipedia's rules, regardless of whether their local laws are stricter or laxer.

The vast majority of people on facebook and wikipedia are not limited to internet access _only_ to those two sites however.

If the only internet I had was that, and I had no way to start my own internet sites either, I'm sure I'd be trying to find ways to use them for what I wanted regardless of their rules too. As it is, I've got the whole internet and have no reason to try and abuse facebook or wikipedia that way.
