Like. Your legislature can propose, vote, and pass a bill that doesn't follow the rules of math, science, etc. Representatives don't have to understand tech, or numbers, or computer protocols. Or really anything. It's just words on paper (or a screen) that more than half of their body voted for.
And it's law.
Who knew.

The Two-Price Oil Act (might not be the exact name) defined tar sands oil as foreign produced oil.

@tinker @darkuncle An amateur mathematician, Edward Goodwin, attempted to pass legislation to define π as 3.2 in Indiana in 1897 so they could make a proof work: https://www.forbes.com/sites/kionasmith/2018/02/05/indianas-state-legislature-once-tried-to-legislate-the-value-of-pi/

@tinker The goal seems clear to me here. Websites that allow VPN connections can be held liable.

@mcg - That's certainly the goal.
How does the website know?
How can the state know? -

This is my apology to any website, based in Utah, that I may visit at any time I may be using a VPN.
If I know/knew you were/are based there - I would not visit - thereby saving you the law breaking results - and further with no visits/clicks potentially putting you out of business.
-
@mcg - That's certainly the goal.
How does the website know?
How can the state know?@tinker @mcg A Utah cop uses a VPN into Colorado, then visits every website. The ones that don't try to verify the age of the Utah person get shaken down under this law. Every website in the world would have to include a "cookie law"-type popup asking "Are you physically located within the territorial jurisdiction of the US state of Utah?" or face some cold Utah mountain justice.

"face some cold Utah mountain justice."
Which is what exactly for a website hosted in Singapore or Amsterdam? A stern letter? Is a Utah sheriff going to hop on a plane?

@troy_frizzell @tinker @mcg I'm not certain, exactly, but I think it may have something to do with involuntarily becoming someone's multilevel marketing downline.

@troy_frizzell @log @tinker @mcg Pigs don't do actual work, so no. (I understand this was a rhetorical question, but I needed to say this lol)
If pigs did actual work the world would be a better place.
They don't.
The world is worse off with them in it. -

The world is worse off with them in it.@NosirrahSec They probably wouldn't even use a warm body for this. They'd just hire a barely-supervised robot to traverse the web, snap screenshots, and send out threatening letters.
Also, if cops tried to do real work, they'd just do a bodge job of it. If they had any aptitude for being constructive, they could have done that instead of copping.

@tinker Welcome to religious legislature, this is the problem in America.
And morons state, "it's because [they're] allowed to believe in whatever religion they want." But it says congress shall pass no law restricting the religious beliefs of others, roughly, which is where putting the word god everywhere got REALLY toxic and un-American.
