As of today a large amount of countries, representing around 4.5 billion people including the largest economies in the world are pushing for some sort of age verification requirement.
But that does not mean they are also pushing laws that hold the website responsible if someone connects through a VPN.
The fact that a VPN can violate these laws is a well-known issue and it is being attacked from various angles depending on the country.
They may not all be using a liability trap like Utah but it isn’t as if the rest of the world are passing similar age verification laws and accepting that anybody who can download and install a VPN can ignore the law.
