MODERATORS
I don't follow some laws, mainly copyright related ones as it goes against my personal morals and there is no punishment.
If a law is immoral and there is punishment, I would conform out of fear, but want to protest it.
If a law is moral, then great!
I'm not so conceited as to imagine I haven't internalised any external morals from authority, majority, or religion, but whenever I actually consciously reflect on my morals, the only one that seems to matter is what I think is moral, not what others do.
