You are too generous. If a company registered in Utah has a user who is coming in via VPN, then that user could be from Utah and the company is not in compliance unless they enforce age verification and thus liable. Thus, everyone has to hand over their ID. No one cares if a NY resident or European or whatever gets caught in it too. That's not a requirement to avoid.
Seems like it kills tech sector in Utah
It would if Utah wasn't the first of many.
Albeit I haven't checked 100% of my traffic but thank God nothing important is hosted in Utah.
I don't know about this one, but these laws usually apply to any company doing commerce inside the jurisdiction. So any company with an office or other business presence there, not just hosting.
