I mean, even if the website detected a vpn, they don’t know it came from Utah…
They can’t know it came from Utah, that’s the whole point of a VPN.
The only way to actually block it, is for Utah to go after ISPs services in Utah. And try to force them to ban VPNs on their end.
Demanding every fucking website worldwide block vpns isn’t gonna work. You’d have to be completely and totally ignorant of technology to think this could even work…
What they can do is make it illegal “for the purposes of bypassing age restrictions”
And that process looks like locking you in a cage and torturing you for a year (in the process you loose your job and home and possessions) while you wait for trial, which you have to pay your life savings on
completely and totally ignorant of technology to think this could even work…
You have to be naive to believe that it doesn’t work.
It’s the same as in China, you can do everything as long as it doesn’t turn into a mass movement.
They don’t have the intention to block every website. It’s enough that they can find a teen from Utah on a VPN for any popular site. That allows them to shut down any service at any time if necessary. Only way out is a full identity verification which is enough to control any uprising.
Most websites are voluntarily blocking VPNs. Reddit, cesspool that it often is, is one of them. I recently bumped into some sites that help sail the high seas blocking VPNs, which was rich.
So while I agree with your broader sentiment, I think many sites will just find themselves blocking VPNs for reasons other than laws or age verification bypass attempts.
That it looks like they’re complying with idiotic legislature is simply a side effect of pursuing other goals/ends.

It’s porn…
People hide even the most vanilla porn…
Banning vpns worldwide will never be done by porn companies, definitely not to keep Utah happy.

VPNs are not illegal. And they never will be
