If you are a registered entity (even non-profit), you can be fined millions of dollars.

It is a very dumb law.

that's great. hey, why don't you ask the UK how fining foreign entities millions of dollars for not doing age verification is working out for them.

you see, laws only apply if the state has the ability to enforce them using violence. california does not have that ability outside of california. california can chew the bark off my big fat log for all I give a shit about the laws there.

Or if they can firewall them, China style. California probably can't do that, but the UK can.
