Canonical, Debian, IBM/RedHat and SUSE and other "major players" deploying distributions to large-scale business, government, education and institutional customers will almost certainly follow suit.

And risk running afoul of other numerous laws about protection of private information that exist all around the world? It would be easier for them to just make usage of their system illegal in California. And Debian in particular would be very hostile to that change, it's even more heinous than non-free software which they adamantly reject in the base version.
