Court sides with EFF against Utah VPN law
Original: Court Agrees with EFF: Utah’s VPN Law Demands a Technical Impossibility https://www. eff.org/deeplinks/2026/10/cour t-ag
A court has sided with the Electronic Frontier Foundation in a challenge to Utah's law targeting VPNs, agreeing with the group's argument that the statute demands something technically impossible. EFF argued the law cannot be complied with as written, and the ruling validates that position. Privacy and digital rights advocates are highlighting the decision as a win against state-level internet regulation.
Why now: The ruling is a notable digital rights victory with implications for other states considering similar VPN restrictions.
