A federal judge has blocked Utah's crackdown on VPNs, halting the state's effort to restrict access to virtual private networks. The ruling is being discussed in privacy, tech, and law circles as a win for digital privacy advocates who opposed the measure. Supporters of the law had argued it was needed to enforce age-verification rules, while critics said targeting VPNs would undermine online privacy for everyone.
Why now: The ruling resolves a closely watched legal fight over state authority to restrict VPN use in the name of age verification.
