Utah to hold websites liable for users who mask their location with VPNs

Utah's Online Age Verification Amendments, Senate Bill 73, take effect May 6, making Utah the first U.S. state to hold websites liable for users who mask their location with VPNs as part of age verification. The law defines a user as being in Utah if physically located there, regardless of VPN or proxy use, and bans websites from sharing instructions to bypass age checks. Critics, including VPN providers and privacy advocates, say the measure is technically flawed and could unduly burden sites or affect legitimate privacy use.
