Blocking use in California is definitely the only way forward. This is not practical to implement.
They'll just do it everywhere else. What is the privacy distro that runs on USB that you just carry around? TailsOS or some such? You can just use it anywhere but since it's different than a live boot I guess you can have all the rest of your personal stuff in there too. Black market for tails OS USBs, or really, just use a VPS somewhere else or a VPN or just go out of state for a few minutes and buy a dumb phone for downloading whatever you want.
I can't imagine this will get traction in the EU where I am. Sometimes the decisions made here are actually thought through lol.
I'm in the US. Never say "it will not happen here."
