    This is the FTC’s rule, but nothing prevents each and every state from implementing a law to do the exact same thing, except slightly differently than every other state, making it extremely costly for the companies to implement.

        States have argued successfully to tax cross state commerce. That’s why you get charged local sales tax even when ordering from a company that does not have a presence in your state. I don’t see this as any different, but someone will need to go first to set the precedent.

        California has the law and visa is based in california. We can push them to make it so that if any site accepts visa they have to follow california’s lawn click to cancel. It’ll be a nice change from them trying to ban the anime, and do something useful.
