Court strikes down Utah's impossible VPN-blocking law
A federal court sided with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, ruling that Utah's law demanding platforms block VPNs is technically unenforceable because VPN connections routed through hosting providers cannot be reliably identified. The decision represents a major digital rights victory, exposing how poorly-drafted legislation creates impossible mandates that would force platforms to either completely block all internet traffic nationwide or abandon Utah entirely.
