Court Blocks Utah's Anti-VPN Age Verification Law

A federal court in Utah issued a preliminary injunction blocking SB 73, a law that required adult websites to block VPN users or identify visitors' physical locations. The court found the law likely violates the U.S. Constitution by burdening users outside Utah.
