True, but California is a big market. Odds are the companies will comply and some will be too lazy to create alternate rules for other states.
They already have the code to determine where you're from and to treat you differently based on that. That's what the bill is about. No laziness needed for the people already implementing this for profit.
Odds are they will do it anyway because ¿how the fuck is the state going to prove otherwise?
Not if it is profitable enough to fuck Alabama person enjoy all that freedom from government
They do it with cars. Most cars these days are 50-state compliant. You used to have California cars and 49-state cars. Not so much these days.
The fact that this kind of bill even needs to be introduced is just appalling.
Why don't we take it a step further and outlaw surveillance in general? Make it illegal to store any information that's not strictly required to operate the service, prohibit selling of customer information, require secure storage of customer information, and require complete transparency of what is stored and why. And then have real consequences for Vang breaking the law.
