    Yes, I understand how dumb that is

    i don’t think you do. residents of utah don’t have to use vpn with endpoint in utah, so in order for your “gotcha” to work, they would have to block whole world. since most people will choose endpoint far from them, it would probably be enough to block anything but utah…

      That’s the point…

      It would be protest against Utah’s dumb law, with an even dumber response, that’s designed specifically to inconvenience people in Utah…

          Unless you are willing to admit that Utah is a dictatorship, then yes “bullying” the people is very appropriate.

          This is an issue with american thinking, the sanctity of normality. You think doing anything that effects the every person is somehow off limits, you think the daily life of the people is unassailable. Its the same nonsense over and over across everything and I think why americans always talk about how “nothing can be done” about any issue that comes up. The us of a is flying off a cliff in multiple ways but americans will put up with it as long as they don’t notice a change in their daily life.

          It is why you are all ok with war, right up until the gas price goes up.

          It is why you are all ok with losing liberties, right up until it effects you personally.

          It is why you are all ok with your media and entertainment pushing usa #1 bullshit that always ends up “back to normal”, right up until you can’t ignore reality.

          It is why you are all ok with a clearly broken and non democratic system, right up until nether party is able to guarantee your lifestyle.

          It is why you are all ok with draconian “purity” laws being put into place, right up until sites you like to use realize that Utah is not worth the work to be there.
