For the last couple of years, we’ve watched the same predictable cycle play out across the globe: a state (or country) passes a clunky age-verification mandate, and, without fail, Virtual Private Network (VPN) usage surges as residents scramble to maintain their privacy and anonymity. We've seen...

    Pushing sexual material further underground can’t be anything but positive. Look how well prohibition of alcohol worked. /s

    Silly Mormons up there in their high desert.

    Maybe they should be focusing on their imminent water issues. You know, actual problems.

    FAFO, baby!

    So just like how they attacked piracy sites which then went distributed via torrents, does this mean the world will go onion routing so all IPs are local addresses?

      More likely I2P — TOR doesn’t scale as well.

        How does one get started with I2P? I’m surprised i’m just hearing about this.

            Interesting. I never knew. Apparently i2p is more like an anonymous and secure intranet within the internet, while tor is an abstraction layer focused on exit nodes to the internet. Internally vs externally focused if I understand correctly.

    I read the article and I still don’t understand why companies that are located outside the state of Utah would give a shit. Aren’t they outside the state’s jurisdiction?

      Not if someone inside Utah sends them money. Then Utah’s laws intersect with interstate commerce laws, so any company in the US is affected.

        Except plenty of VPNs can be used for free and some without an account. Also the best (IE Mullvad and Proton.) You can pay with hard cash that can be delivered via burnable alias. So you honestly don’t have a way to enforce this unless you implement a great firewall of China and such.

          Enforcement does not need to be perfect for the law to have an impact.

            It’s not about perfection, it’s about it actually being enforceable at all.

              And it is. You can pay for Mullvad with cash or bitcoin, but you can pay with VISA who will happily turn over your transactions to law enforcement.
