Utah's Online Age Verification Amendments, formally Senate Bill 73, take effect on May 6, making the state the first in the U.S. to explicitly target VPN use as part of age verification legislation.
Signed by Governor Spencer Cox on March 19, the controversial law establishes that a user is considered to be accessing a website from Utah if they are physically located there, regardless of whether they use a VPN or proxy to mask their IP address. It also prohibits covered websites from sharing instructions on how to use a VPN to bypass age checks.
NordVPN has called the law an "unresolvable compliance paradox" and a "liability trap," arguing that it holds websites responsible for identifying users whose tools are specifically designed to be unidentifiable. The EFF warned that the legal risk could push sites to either ban all known VPN IPs or mandate age verification for every visitor globally.

12 months tops you will not be able to access the internet anonymously. Anywhere.
Governments want Americans obsessed with surrendering liberties to protect children and grandmothers.
And they believe it like good sheep.
Ironically, I was using a VPN to show I was in Utah to watch the Vikings
This doesn’t make sense. Same crap that Germany tries to do to US companies. Force us to regulate speech for them.
If germany doesn’t like a website...let Germany block it.
If Utah doesn’t like a website, let Utah block the website (and get sued). Especially if the website isn’t even in Utah. That’s like saying Utah requires a special driver’s license for anyone driving to Utah, even before they get to Utah.
Hopefully the courts are smart enough to see the scam that this is.
If the real objective was to prevent kids from accessing porn, they would be working on parental controls.
This is only about eliminating privacy and anonymity, to ensure they can doxx and retaliate against “ wrong thinking”.
[12 months tops you will not be able to access the Internet anonymously. Anywhere.]
If not by then it will be true but 2029
At the latest.
Yet another reason I keep mentioning Digital ID 🆔.
Your Internet privacy and personal privacy is about to go all Digital
Say the WrongThink and you won’t be able

The Mockers and the Scoffers are in for

“If the real objective was to prevent kids from accessing porn, they would be working on parental controls.”
If the real objective was to prevent kids from accessing porn, they would make it a law that any computer the kids have access to is in the living room.
Parent abdicating their responsibility to the State is the problem.

I just said the same thing. GMTA

At the age of 73 I don’t have a lot of time left and it’s stuff like this that makes me glad. The world is becoming a cesspool where freedom is meaningless. I would love to see the day of the Lord before I go but either way I know where I am going and I hope to see you there.
Interesting that this is being led by Utah, a state that harbors a specific group who does NOT want others privy to their inner workings. Exposure cuts both ways.
PARENTS WHO ARE OUT OF CONTROL CAN NEVER CONTROL THEIR KIDS.
Its bad enough already I got to give them a phone number to verify who I am. The internet is starting to really suck.
Liberals and other authoritarians in general turn everything they touch into shit.
