 First time doing this so forgive me if I am missing something:

 Relevant pull requests (multiple) here:

 * https://github.com/torproject/support/pull/110
 * https://github.com/torproject/webwml/pull/75

 Reasoning: While it might be good for a separate page to show the legal
 status of Tor in various countries based on existing laws, until such a
 page offers such comparisons, I believe it would be best if the claim of
 not being illegal in any countries (false) is simply removed as it
 provides no additional value in context to the section anyway.

 Additional arguments, discussion, and sources are seen in his thread
