Utah is first US state to limit teen social media access

So, for example, I could setup a server in Oregon, which responds to requests received from other servers in Oregon[0], and then suddenly I find myself in legal trouble in Florida? Why am I subject to Florida law when I live in Oregon, and I have no representation in the Florida legislature?

[0]: In this example, I connect to an Oregon ISP and respond to requests being relayed through this ISP, but I never directly connect to servers in other states. This is a reductionist view, and may be silly, but it helps make my point.

I think that goes to jurisdiction, which is a different issue.

The sibling comment by dragonwriter (which I missed somehow when posting) is a better-worded version of my point about interstate commerce.
