Good.
It's good that one state can force it's hand over the other 49?

#14How are these different from GDPR? Most global companies should already have most of this in place, so it will just hurt the small businesses which has yet to expand outside the states. Is there some limit to company size here to avoid that?
You mean like all of the US news sites that just firewall off EU citizens at the moment?
I do not understand why they do that.
If a US news outlet has no presence in the EU there is nothing which can be done if they do not follow EU rules.

Personally I think it is appropriate. California has long been known to do such things, for instance having different requirements for cars regarding emissions.
In general I think California is using their huge size and role (obviously, as home to most of the dominant internet companies like Google and Apple and Facebook) to push the rest of the country forward.

It's good that each state can determine the laws applicable in its jurisdiction. If you don't want to comply, don't do business in California.
Of course the question when you want to block California or run different code for users in California is "how do you legally and reliably tell if a user is in California"; eg. if they're using a VPN to new york could they sue you/file a complaint and win? What if Maxmind's IP database is outdated and you miss a bunch of California users?
