You’d be an edge case, and they probably wouldn’t worry much about you. Generally, a company enacts a policy aiming to capture the 80-90% of users that check the policy criteria, not the 10-20% that fall outside of it (reddit and Twitter excepted, apparently). They probably just check where the IP is located and if it’s in one of those states they deny service.
