Any idea how this new law will affect instance operators?

That's what I'm wondering, how would they enforce these rules for any instance that isn't based in their state?

@colonial@lemmy.world

Just like Facebook isn't in any one state.. You could fine the instance owner.. Eventually leading to a warrant for non compliance and failure to pay which means you are bared from entering the state of you don't want to be arrested.

Also they can ban your ip. So no one in the state would see or interact with that instance.
