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?

Any physical business has to deal with 100s of regulations too, it just means the same culture of making it extremely difficult and expensive to do anything at all is now coming to the online world as well, bit by bit.

If you have a restaurant in Italy and some 18 year old from Mississippi orders a glass of wine - you can happily and lawfully serve it.

You don’t need to know all the laws of Mississippi to serve such customer, or any laws from anywhere else other than Italy.

If you offered them a place to do leverage trading, you would be getting extradited to the US. Failure to do your KyC is no excuse.

Be careful what you put in that menu.
