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.
We need debit cards that aren’t tethered to banking institutions which are bound to enforce this shit on their apps/websites.
Also, isn’t legislating against VPN usage just a new way to legislate over the rights of people who don’t live in your state? Because, how is a company going to prove whether you’re in California or Utah using a California based VPN? They won’t care… They’ll just enforce that everyone bides by Utah law, regardless of your origin.
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.
It seems like it’s just a matter of time until the US has it’s own red firewall.
Revenge of the Mormons.
Drop an m and this still holds up.
Those damn ormons
But spoofing a phone number and harassing me all day isn’t worth solutioning. This Gov. is not representing us.
The Biden admin was about to regulate data brokers but then Trump happened.
Yet another Biden failure! When will that guy stop causing all our problems?! Thanks Biden! /s
I’ve learned a little bit of multiple languages to answer the phone in a foreign language. It absolutely fucks with the scammer on the other end because they are expecting an English speaker.
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.
Maybe they should focus on things that matter.
That requires effort. Something Republicans are incapable of doing unless it involves consolidating control over other’s lives.
Wait, how long until literally any software business realizes what this is, and hard lobbies against it?
You basically must conduct all your business unencrypted in the state of Utah if this is to be understood.
The acceleration of the popularization of darknets continues, it’s going to be a tough decade, but at the end of it, we’ll all be more private and secure. Learn about Tor, I2P, and anonymous internet alternatives!
Oh, I need to break character here to do a public service announcement.
Do you want to learn how to build onionized explosives? You shouldn’t read the Anarchist’s Cookbook then, or any other instruction sources, as those are compromised to expodes you. Same reason as why some alcohol would kill you during prohibition: your government loves you!
Most of the information in the anarchists cookbook is either incorrect or outright false. You are better off looking at declassified millitary documents.
That was the implication. Actually, I would recommend asking detailed questions on the conpletely anonymous website of this famous hacker, 4chan, to get useful information, and I say this as someone who accidentally faked schizophrenia by telling his ROTC cadre that his nonexistant sister got him pregnant over the course of weeks, so you can trust me. Those fuckers in the government don’t want anything to do with me, man. I’m a s00per skilled criminaler, dude! You want to buy some jerky? $.47/gram, you pay postage, sent by USPS.
But if you can’t help yourself like the filthy animal you, audience member(s), are, definitely look up those military docs about explosives like Pegasus II on Google, so you find that totally unaffiliated website that doesn’t record IP/MAC address of everyone downloading it, just like downloading files from that 4chan guy I mentioned is in no way traceable.
uhm okay :/
I’m a cop, stinky. I gave cop advice. Good luck any horrible people out there!
Have a nice day too 😅
Can we just trade Utah to, I dunno, Mexico for three bucks and a half eaten burrito?
wait, i’m confused, do we have to pay them the three bucks and give them the burrito to get them to take it?
mexico rejects offer, counteroffers three pesos and half eaten burro
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.
looks at the scotus playbook
yeah that falls in between ‘nuhh uh’ and ‘don’t care’.
only problem is, it’s gonna get upheld 6-3
Russia’s VPN crackdown disrupts banks, marketplaces and government services
And so if I’m in Utah as a traveller I can’t check my local news by vpn? Ok
So how do they plan on figuring out if any given user behind a VPN is in Utah?
Well while your isp can’t see what you do when you use a vpn. They can see you use a vpn.
So there is that. However you could use an isp that is not in utah
They can see you use a vpn.
How? Deep package inspection?
There are known IP ranges for some VPN services. Plus even if they don’t have that, they can see that all your traffic is going to one IP address and can guess/assume it’s a VPN.
they can see that all your traffic is going to one IP address and can guess/assume it’s a VPN
Umm… What?
That works from the ISP end, but this legislation makes websites themselves accountable. Even if it was about ISPs, as you said they can’t see what you’re doing to stop it and there’s too many use cases for VPNs to just block the protocols outright.
Age and identity verification. Unfortunately selling user data is profitable, so I think this will become more common.

The stupidity of these lawmakers is beyond wild. How the fuck is this real?
I have a similar idea, let’s prosecute the police when they fail to catch criminals and punish them instead? A killer got away? Death penalty for the police officer in charge. That will make the killers think twice!
Or even better, let’s prosecute politicians when their laws backfire and do more damage than good.
I think politicians have special law right to avoid that consequences of their actions.
Citizens also have special action that leds them bypass laws.
It’s called anarchy to some, and full-on revolution to others.
I bet you a dollar that all of them are technologically illiterate.
It’s not just that, it’s that they don’t care. People keep assuming it’s solely based on a lack of knowledge but the real point is establishing consequences to prevent the things that can’t fight it from existing to begin.
They’ll decline to go after the websites they as lawmakers use themselves, but will instead hit up independent things that can’t afford to fight back and will just close when contacted.
i mean, how are we defining tech illiteracy? they have heard of the twitter, okay?
lol Mormons have the NSA servers in Utah.
