If similar to equivalent state regs, when access to customers residing in that market is gated by compliance and subject to lawsuits or ban, the first phase of business-side operations change is immediately setting up minimum compliance workflow like a special webpage coupled with countermeasures (like proof of residency; IP historically difficult in court but has been used successfully for state-specific age gating) and boundary testing cycles.
