Utahs ban on VPNs for porn is on hold, but not for long
Utah's ban on VPNs for accessing porn sites is currently on hold due to a legal challenge. The law, which expands on a previous age-verification statute, has faced criticism for its technical feasibility. Aylo, the parent company of Pornhub, argues that the law exceeds Utah's authority and poses liability risks under other jurisdictions' laws.
- ▪The ban was supposed to take effect weeks ago but is now delayed.
- ▪Aylo filed a complaint against the Utah Division of Consumer Protection on April 22.
- ▪The complaint argues that the law could expose Aylo to liability risks and violates the U.S. Constitution.
