Utah to hold websites liable for users who mask their location with VPNs

“Sites would face liability if a Utah user accessed restricted content using a VPN, even if the site complied with all standard age verification requirements.”

The state that brought you mandatory porn-site IDs has decided the next problem is users routing around the law. So the new law makes the websites responsible for tunneling traffic they cannot see. This is what Brussels is doing on the same week. Every law that demands you verify users will end with another law banning the tools that let users hide.
