Just like Facebook isn't in any one state.. You could fine the instance owner.. Eventually leading to a warrant for non compliance and failure to pay which means you are bared from entering the state of you don't want to be arrested.

Also they can ban your ip. So no one in the state would see or interact with that instance.
