Not a lawyer but I think that if none of your users are from California then nobody would have standing to sue you.

  Yes, but that would require a preemptive blocking strategy in actual practice. > It's not trying to court California users. The point that is being made, is that even a site generally designed and expected to be used by Utah citizens can become liable to Californian law because a Californian created an account.

    Just as with "over 18" banners, I expect that if all users self-certify as being non-californians the law won't apply to you. And that seems perfectly reasonable to me. Perhaps with the exception that I also think that a modal banner to the effect of "you acknowledge that you are now doing business in Utah" also ought to suffice. If you actually sell things to Californians that's different. At that point, yeah, I think you _should_ be subject to California law. You're doing the equivalent of mail order business with a resident after all.

  I'm not soliciting legal advice, not looking for an opinion on how things are today but asking how we think society and laws should be overall. If I operate a healthcare facility in New Mexico and a Texan comes in asking an addition, should I be liable to Texas abortion laws? Should they be held liable for an abortion that happened out of the state?
