Federal Judge Blocks Utah's VPN Crackdown

Original: Federal Judge Blocks Utah's VPN Crackdown https://gizmodo.com/federal-judge-blocks-utahs-vpn-crackdown-2000818450 # Priv

A federal judge has blocked Utah's law targeting VPN use, part of the state's efforts to enforce age verification for adult content. The ruling halts enforcement of provisions that critics said would restrict access to privacy tools. Supporters of the law argue it protects minors, while digital rights advocates welcome the decision as a win for online privacy and free expression.

Why now: The court ruling is a new development in the ongoing national fight over age verification laws and online privacy.
