Between this and the UK Online Safety Bill, how are people meant to keep track?

Launch a small website and commit a felony in 7 states and 13 countries.

I wouldn't have known about the Mississippi bill unless I'd read this. How are we have to know?

Check your local laws and make sure never to travel outside your current state.

States should come together with their neighboring states to start passing identical model legislation for this sort of stuff, if we don’t have unity across the country. It could be easy and voluntary for the states to do.

The US doesn’t have 50 different cultures with totally different values, but probably has like… 7.

This sounds great, until those states hate each other and want to get one over on the other one, even if they're ideologically aligned.

Yeah, increasing political tension--and not just any political tension, but political tension between states--doesn't seem good.

Historically speaking, the tension in this case (between Missouri and Kansas) is low.

No cities are on fire and there aren't raiding parties crossing the border.
