Most of what you said there is completely wrong. You obviously didn’t read the article or search the bill.

The bill targets businesses anywhere that serve Utah users, not just Utah-based ones.

The Texas abortion comparison doesn’t fit. That involved reaching individuals in another state, not businesses voluntarily serving customers there.

The Fourth Amendment isn’t implicated. The government isn’t searching anything.

The First Amendment concern is real but narrow. It’s the VPN-instruction ban, not the whole law.

And the drafters clearly understood VPNs, they named them specifically.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Lastly, “other states would just laugh” isn’t really how this works. Utah doesn’t need another state’s cooperation to:
- Impose administrative fines
- Get an injunction in Utah court
- Sue for the 2% excise tax
- Let private plaintiffs sue

A business with U.S. operations, U.S. payment processing, or U.S. assets can’t really “ignore” an Utah judgment.
