    > platforms are left with an impossible choice: completely block all VPN traffic nationwide or withdraw access from Utah entirely

    Is it even possible to reliably know that a connection is from a VPN? Anyone can proxy through a random hosting provider.

      The better question is can you ensure your traffic doesn't get funneled to utah? The answer is probably not. There is a huge nsa data center there... So it's not even a choice, it's do both impossible things.
