I hear, maybe someone can verify this, that US states not only can't enforce state laws on anyone outside state borders, but also can't even mess with post and delivery services so as to intercept (in the case of California, and far worse New York, age verification OS level tyranny) non-compliant respects-your-freedom devices as they cross the state-border.

Let me introduce you to California's way of doing things: https://guncad.substack.com/p/special-issue-state-of-califor...

They're suing Florida residents with no ties to California for linking to pictures of guns on the internet.

They will likely lose, but the goal is not to win, it's to score points with their political base and maybe bankrupt the defendants with legal fees.

Or the goal might be to lose, but to establish some precedent that will hamper states like Texas that have tried similar things with abortion providers.
