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

    Not sure what the impossibility is. VPN's have a set of exit relays. If traffic is coming from one of those exit relays, it's coming from a VPN, so adult websites can be required to block traffic from those exit relays. What am I missing?

      The law requires blocking all VPN access.

      It's impossible to have perfect knowledge of the entire set of VPN exit node addresses.

        Sounds like a problem for those pesky, nasty porn websites, not a problem for the good christian lawmakers..

            Mormonism is a branch of Christianity

              It's not generally considered Christian because they have their own religious text which didn't originate from Christians of the time.

                But don't they still believe in other Christian texts, the same concepts, and the same god in the same way? It's probably more different than most other branches but it still seems like Christian DLC to me.
