This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I’m shaking in my boots, Utah. I’m skared!!! Prove that I’m surfing PORN. Maybe I just want to protect my privacy and stop my ISP from selling my online activities. But also, porn. I know Europe has a few countries imposing this, but damn am I glad to not be in the USA anymore. I’d likely be shot and killed leading a revolution. At least people would have a martyr…
Mullvad has quantum resistance and DIATA. Only when VPNs are outlawed will this be an issue.
If conservatives really wanted to protect children, most of the GOPs leadership would be in prison.
Wait, how long until literally any software business realizes what this is, and hard lobbies against it?
You basically must conduct all your business unencrypted in the state of Utah if this is to be understood.
Only business that would require an ID/Age Verification check, but yeah. Except they don't want to hold actual websites liable. They want to hold ISP's liable.
There's literally no way to know if the people using the VPN's are located in Utah. So this law would be unenforceable against actual websites.
It might possibly be enforceable against ISP's but the problem is, once you fire up a VPN your ISP can only see your entry point and maybe that there is a volume of traffic going to and from your device. They can't see what websites you visit (provided your VPN is properly configured).
I also don't understand how this bill could effectively lay any blame against the websites for knowing you use a VPN because they also can't see any of that information. They know that you visited and from a specific IP "located" in "place" and they can either assume that the use of a VPN means you're in Utah (very unlikely), or they can assume you're not (more likely given the population that lives outside Utah).
I would bet my shoes Facebook or someone lobbied for this.
It’s easy to blame Mormons, but I think that bloc was more of a mark.
I remember the days before corporations started to see the internet as a sales and advertising platform and governments allowed it to grow organically. It was honestly great. I miss those days
When you trade the kids for money, favors, even inside the church, you're still a G-d damned PIMP. Fuck them. This is about protecting pimps, not kids.
