And that would mean most sites would ban Wisconsin addresses. Hopefully Evers vetoes that because we all know what party pushed this unrealistic idea
Control the ISP, control the internet.
You would be surprised how wildly different the internet you interact with is from the internet in another country, or even another state.
VPN can help some, but its not a silver bullet.
Yeah that won’t be a nightmare to navigate…
It's nearly 10 PM on the East Coast, better hurry up and log off!
get called in the middle of the night for production outage
google error message
Aw fuck guess I can't fix this til the morning
So all websites will be the tiktok app now?
Oh, I know the solution to making sure that kids can't access the internet between the hours of 10 PM and 7 AM!
If a VPN can change your IP address to an address in any other timezone, the company just needs to account for all timezones. And to be extra, extra sure that it's impossible to break the law, they just need to be super duper liberal about how it works:
Is it 4 PM in Hawaii? Well, that's 10 PM on the east coast, and we know a VPN could route traffic through a Hawaiian IP address. Better play it safe and start restricting access at 08:00 UTC. Oh, but then there's timezones from all over the globe. Pack it up, boys, because it's always going to between 10 and 7 somewhere on the planet.
What's with these states pushing internet bills?
If my websites gets any legal threats from a state, it's way more easier to tell them to fuck off and block all access to that state.
