Ah Utah
The medieval backward heartland of the USA
Good thing my firm doesn’t have an office in UT; we’re all on a VPN to work from home.
IT’S FOR THE KIDS, YOU COMMIE!
This is just another dog and pony show. If the company doesn’t have any offices or assets in utah, then they don’t have to care. Utah can censor it’s own internet if it doesn’t like it.
This law simply has no legs to stand on.Get a list of every dumbass politician who voted this through, and access their campaign websites through a VPN from a computer in Utah. Boom.
Self owned.
Politicians will be exempt. That ain’t that stupid.
They didn’t write this law, the lobbyists did.
These aren’t “age checks”…it’s identity tracking.
It’s literally going to be easier for websites to just block all Utah IPs and Geolocations.
I’m ok with blocking Utah from the internet. That’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make
Websites need to block all Utah traffic. If their leaders are going to be shitheads, then no traffic for you until you elect new leaders.
Shit just block Utah from porn and they will change their tune quick
Traffic coming from Utah? Believe it or not, jail.
You should see how they’ve gerrymandered their districts.
Looks like Utah is run by buncha pedos
The pedophile class has the audacity to dictate access to a utility under the guise of protecting the children
Age verification is a red line. I will not comply
Remember when we told people “they’ll make it illegal to use a VPN” and we got snarky replies like “it’s not enforceable LOL”.
The fuck it isn’t. Traffic coming from a VPN? That’s a paddlin’, kiddo.
They’re not even trying to masquerade it as… oh, yes, they’re still trying to masquerade as a “think of the children!” measure. Those fuckers.
People can use this to look like local traffic.
This seems a bit sketchy to me. How am I getting paid for participating when it’s completely free?

Their economic model comes from premium subscriptions. Its free to use with a data cap.

So what legally protects a provider from prison if users view illegal content via my network?
Reminds me of the guy who got his home raided and electronics seized for running a Tor exit node.

Seems risky and a huge legal hassle even if you don’t end up in prison.
They could run it on a Linux VPS. They might want to have a notice ready as if they were running a tor exit relay and let the host know.
The problem for most users is: they actually want to look like traffic from somewhere else…
I meant to say residential traffic of whatever country they connect to instead of a data center.
it seems very unsafe
Their software is open source.
I’m assuming these are porn sites? If the site isn’t hosted in the US they have no obligation to comply. The hell are they going to do.
they will use this specifically to prosecute whoever they choose and will only enforce it for that reason
Problematic now that Firefox has a free VPN with 50gb / mo.
