Based on many of the "unknown reach" statements the author identified, it is impossible to say.
One potential outcome, at least for US businesses where their legal teams believe they have some nexus to California, will be either:
1) apply these rules to any incoming California IP address;
or
2) apply these rules to everyone, no matter where they are located.
Naturally, the easier route above is to just do #2, which means these changes could, much like the EU's GDPR resulted in paranoid legal teams adding "cookie banners" everywhere, impact all sites that have any US presence at all.

- r3trohack3r 4y ago(1) is tricky. Laws like this do not apply to IP addresses AFAICT, they apply to people. Someone CA law applies to can access your server using a non-CA IP address and someone not restricted by this law can access your server using a CA address. I'd be surprised if you'd be "off the hook" for a child covered under this law accessing your service via a VPN. And, as a user, I'd be upset if I couldn't access your site using mullvad. I wonder if banning CA users in your ToS is sufficient for passing the burden of this law down to CA residents?
