       Next week, Utah will become the first state in the nation (to our knowledge) to target VPN use to avoid legally mandated age-verification gates. They won't create a safer internet, only a significantly less private one. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/utahs-new-law-regulating-vpns-goes-effect-next-week

       @eff So time for a tor browser, relays, spinning up a system in the cloud. Betting there are lots of options. Seems like all the adults won't have a clue but their kids will figure it out.

       @eff this goes against the the 4th and 5th Amendments, and other privacy laws.Get a warrant, or get out of my computer.

       @eff It also won't work.Prohibition never does.It just drives the behavior underground. All this will do is spur new research into other ways to hide the signature of the prohibited traffic.  I already know of several. Evolution in action.
