Utah is attacking VPNs. California wants to ban social media for minors. Governments across the globe are rushing to "protect the kids" by controlling the internet.

@eff Utah will not succeed. Just like US companies don’t adhere to EU laws, foreign companies won’t all adhere to Utah laws.

@eff It seems like we are being forced to choose between the social media and porn companies( Meta, Google, TikTok, Uporn, etc...) and governments. I don't like these choices.

@eff it might have been a little better to credit the author https://mstdn.social/@axoromero when making the posting of the article. Why not, right?

@eff @axoromero I would have liked to see more depth to the article. Everyone basically agrees with you but, don't pin the article on just that.
I would have liked to have seen more of a focus on 'how government policy is made'(and why). Clearly there have been some lawsuits against companies that have been leading up to this government decision in California. Extending the local context could have been an angle, instead of reaching far away(Austria).
Even so, well done on the website.
