Court Blocks Utah's VPN Law, Calling It a Technical Impossibility
Court agrees with EFF: Utah's VPN law demands a technical impossibility
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against Utah's SB 73, which would have forced adult websites to block VPN users or verify every visitor's location. The court agreed with EFF that perfect geolocation is impossible, making the law unconstitutional. The ruling sets a precedent against anti-VPN mandates that demand invasive surveillance and threaten privacy nationwide.
Because the law requires perfection in the absence of perfect geolocation tools, Aylo would need to verify those 28 million users—whether located in Salt Lake City, Boston, New Orleans, Anchorage, or Honolulu—to ensure compliance and avoid liability.
