This is just another dog and pony show. If the company doesn’t have any offices or assets in utah, then they don’t have to care. Utah can censor it’s own internet if it doesn’t like it.
This law simply has no legs to stand on.
But why would it spread? Utah can pass this because they don’t have a large presense of tech companies with deep pockets to oppose it. But any state that does is going to be up against those tech companies. And we know money usually wins. The whole biting the hand that feeds you thing and all.

And how has big tech been fighting this exactly?

They stand to make more money on implementation than they would lose in liability. Surveillance capitalism is in play here.
It’ll be federal soon though.
No chance. Why do you think all the tech billionaires were at the inauguration. Plus, trump is very pro business. So are Republicans in general.
Can states not sue companies that accept payment from citizens within their state?
