Wait, how long until literally any software business realizes what this is, and hard lobbies against it?

You basically must conduct all your business unencrypted in the state of Utah if this is to be understood.

Only business that would require an ID/Age Verification check, but yeah. Except they don't want to hold actual websites liable. They want to hold ISP's liable.
