Utah’s VPN Age-Check Law Starts Wednesday, And Websites Face A Hard Choice
Utah’s new online age-verification law takes effect Wednesday, requiring adult-content sites to verify users’ ages even if they use VPNs to mask their location. Covered sites face fines up to $2,500 per violation and are barred from encouraging VPN use to bypass checks. Privacy advocates warn the law could force sites to block VPN traffic or expand age checks. NordVPN says full compliance is technically impossible.
