Last time i checked "states rights" didn't mean the right to impose your laws on people or businesses running out of other states.
If anyone from Mississippi wants to use our services I'm totally ready to ignore any and all laws that don't acknowledge to sovereignty of the net.
"Mississippi has a backwards-ass age verification requirement. We're not allowed to let users in from Mississippi. Verify you're not in Mississippi"
Also states don't have one company to go after. It is nearly impossible to track down and file court orders for if your lucky non-profits in other countries.
Like I don't think there are many people that host Mastodon instances that will listen to a court order out of the goodness of there heart.

Some lawyer on Capitol Hill: "Hmm..."
Not if, when.
Who knows, the same demand may be given of certain other federated social media sites in a few months.
States should just create a firewall, and not shift burden to supply chains.
Well they should not do that either, but if they're going to, they should shoulder the burden.
