Could they not also just selectively ban all Utah-based IPs?
People in Utah could still access with a VPN, but never would, because that would be against the law.

Why is a company or person that doesn’t exist physically in Utah at all responsible for adhering to Utah’s laws? Should be their government’s responsibility to block sites, not the site’s responsibility to block Utah.

This would be easier than banning VPNs wholesale.

> Could they not also just selectively ban all Utah-based IPs? No. Because VPNs redirect traffic from the site to a third party to Utah, in order to disguise the location of the original request
