      The Californian law only affects California.

      Individual OS vendors might decide to implement it in a way that affects other places as well, e.g. in the past, Valve decided they’d rather not implement age verification for Germany and just stopped selling all porn / super violent games in Germany. Maybe they’ll now implement it for Germany and California.

      Probably only Californians. Or at least IPs out of California.

      For example, PornHub (Canadian company) is completely open to me, being Canadian. But if my VPN puts me in a state that has banned porn (Virginia for example), the site don’t let me on.

      I’m sure it’s much like that. If you are in California or your IP is based out of it, the OS will require age verification.
