In a win for digital rights, a federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction blocking Utah’s SB 73, the state’s draconian anti-VPN age verification law.

    More like *that empowers the surveillance state.

    Honestly, I have nothing against age restricted spaces (within reason). When a bouncer checks your ID at a bar, they historically haven’t been logging that interaction. Its not used to track your movement, reported to your health insurance company, etc…

    If you assigned the death penalty to CEOs who store or sell verification information I could maybe be talked into providing my ID to an online company.
