It does indeed outside of the united IP holders of america.

In the free world, you can record any tv or radio program that is freely available for your personal consumption.

Welcome to the actual land of the free.

Edit: answering another comment of yours. You can absolutely repost the twitter, reddit and whatnot post of anyone. It is paywalled stuff that you are not allowed to share.

How is reposting content to another social media platform with over a million users "personal consumption"?

Thats not what I said. I was answering to this:

Does that mean every TV show broadcast over the air, every song on the radio, and every book in a public library is now "free" to pirate on the Internet because they were made publicly available?

The answer to that is yes, at least if you‘re not living in a corpo hellscape.
