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?

Hopefully data centers will be built in more free states. If I live in California, and run a server in California that responds to requests coming from an ISP in California, at what point do I become subject to Mississippi law that I never had a chance to vote for?

If anything, communications between Mississippi and California would be interstate commerce and would thus fall under federal legal jurisdiction.

Don't count on sensible, well established laws from the past applying in the near future.
