but that doesn't establish whether /u/spez intends to adhere to the laws of any other states and/or countries in addition to those.
That's exactly what it establishes. That's the *entire purpose* for websites to include their governing law somewhere in a public document, to avoid the confusion you seem bound and determined to keep yourself mired in.

Which is great, except that this entire thread is about how Reddit's rules and policies are changing. So just pointing to the old user agreement and saying "well, there you go" is no more useful than pointing to old quotes from /u/spez or /u/kn0thing about the importance of free speech and using them as your guide on content.
Furthermore, while it says that legal issues will be resolved in California, that doesn't necessarily imply that California's laws and community standards will be the only guidelines applied w/r/t disputes regarding content.

You are factually wrong. There are actual legal reasons to establish your terms within specific territories. But it doesn't change the legal liability you have in other countries, nor does it make a set of content policies necessarily stick to the same terms.
