Of course a VPN (or any out of state proxy) defeats the block. And I'm 100% sure Pornhub management knows that. The question is do Utah legislators know that?
I applaud the motive, but such a thing is utterly unenforceable.

“but such a thing is utterly unenforceable.”
Absolutely, and the question is what will be next?
Every device has parental controls. All adult sites send out cookies that trigger these parental controls. This responsibility belongs to the parents not the government.
To quote a friend who agrees with you...
“They’ll use it as a foil to try to agitate for their “Internet driver’s license” which they’ve been trying to get for decades. But the objective itself will not succeed.”

“As a response, MindGeek has chosen to block everyone in the state from being able to access its websites, including Pornhub.”
Sounds like the law is working well.

The owners of Porn Hub should be made to stand before a Utah firing squad.

Here’s a great idea, and a dream. The ransomware creeps reach out to every known porn site and block them. But, never tell them the amount to unblock. Yes, yes, I know, free speech, etc. Okay, how about blocking every child porn site (just typing those two words together, child porn, makes me want to destroy the keyboard).

So Mormons in Slat Lake City are going ot need VPNs if they want porn.

So does that mean that Utah citizens will return to buying DVDs through mail order for their porn fix? I remember how VHS tape sales used to be a big deal, before the Internet came along. Even earlier, there was 16mm film, where a number of people learned how to thread projectors.
Prohibition never works well.

Of course they don’t want age restrictions. They want kids hooked as early as possible.

Most of those legislators can at best probably barely use email, bookmark a webpage or use a semi complicated password.
