"SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — A new Utah law going into effect Wednesday will require websites featuring adult content to go even further in verifying a user’s age before granting access to the website.

Under Senate Bill 73, if more than 33% of a website’s content includes material harmful to children, it will be required to verify the user is at least 18 years of age.

While age mandates went into effect in 2023 with S.B. 287, the new law also impacts Utahns using Virtual Private Networks, who otherwise would have been able to bypass age verification.

A VPN is an encrypted connection that hides a user’s data, online activity and location from a website.

Aaron Mackey, the deputy legal director of the non-profit Electronic Frontier Foundation suggests the new law impedes on privacy by piercing through those VPNs.

“What this law does is it sort of affects a fundamental change in that it requires … services to actually go behind those VPNs and actually intrude on that privacy and if they discover that you’re using these VPNs, they actually require you to provide information, to de-anonymize yourself or actually provide proof of age in ways in which the whole point of using the VPN in the first place was that you wouldn’t have to be identified online,” Mackey said."

Let them worry about polygamy before vpn's for fuck sakes.

Not a legal expert at all so this might be a silly question, but I feel this be challenged in court over privacy issues.

Define "if more than 33% of a website’s content includes material harmful to children" does that mean if a woman's cleavage is visible it is harmful?

What is wrong with law makers in Utah?

[monsta]

What scripts are available to block traffic from specific states?

[calista]

Is there a list of states than have similar laws?

What scripts are available to block traffic from specific states?

For country and state blocking, you need MaxMind https://www.maxmind.com/en/solutions/ip ... i-services

They offer a GEOIP Web Service for smaller sites (that's where you ping them with the users IP and they respond with a country code) OR you can download their GEOIP database and host it locally on your server. Much faster response that way

Maxmind has been around since for ever and is the best in my opinion
