Not at all. I think he rightly concludes that jurisdiction is completely avoidable by geoblocking California.
It is baffling to hear the author ask the question “did Shopify ‘expressly aim an intentional act at California?” And subsequently conclude that Shopify’s entire business model is in doubt if it doesn’t do business in California.
- adgjlsfhk1 1y agoI think the one plausible argument for Shopify is that the California law is unconstitutional since this might be interstate commerce.
- otterley 1y agoThat’s possible, but they haven’t even gotten there yet because they’re still arguing over the jurisdictional question.
- otterley 1y agoThey’re not going to geo block California customers. It makes no business sense.
