Court rules Utah VPN law technically impossible, siding with EFF

Original: Court agrees with EFF: Utah's VPN law demands a technical impossibility

A court has sided with the Electronic Frontier Foundation in its challenge to Utah's law regulating VPNs, ruling that the statute demands something technically impossible to implement. The decision follows EFF's argument that the law's requirements cannot be met with existing technology. The ruling is being discussed as a significant setback for state-level attempts to impose age-verification and VPN restrictions, and a potential precedent for similar laws elsewhere in the US.

Why now: The ruling is a fresh legal defeat for state online-safety legislation and could shape how other states draft similar VPN and age-verification laws.
