I remember the days before corporations started to see the internet as a sales and advertising platform and governments allowed it to grow organically. It was honestly great. I miss those days

This is what happens when you elect morons to legislate technology they dont understand.

Maybe we should just start blocking Utah like folks block North Korea. Utahans clearly want only Facebook and MySpace, and it’s rude of us to second-guess.

I find it so interesting that they will dance all the way around VPN’s, yet do nothing to make them actually illegal.

Land of the free etc

I would bet my shoes Facebook or someone lobbied for this.

It’s easy to blame Mormons, but I think that bloc was more of a mark.

All adult businesses moving out of Utah. A lot of other businesses too.

if they are so concerned about children, how about doing something about the mormon church and the fucking horrible crimes that are committed against women and children in it?

More ways to control our lives and track our movements.

“Party of small government”.

Personally, I would stop using any site that did this. We all know nothing matters in this country but money. Companies stop making as much, they’ll get legislation changed.

But spoofing a phone number and harassing me all day isn’t worth solutioning. This Gov. is not representing us.

It seems like it’s just a matter of time until the US has it’s own red firewall.

Every website would be better served to come up with a way to block all IP ranges that come out of Utah ISPs. Better to just block the whole state than try to play this game.

Have they thought about passing a law that checks to see if the people making the law have an IQ above 50?

This is the dumbest, most waste of time bullshit particularly when the rest of the country is imploding. Maybe they should focus on things that matter.

If I were a lawyer arguing against the law in court, my primary argument would be that this violates the interstate commerce section of the US Constitution.

Revenge of the Mormons.
