Beginning 1 September, we will need to geoblock Mississippi IPs

Surprising how quickly everyone is expected to comply with these laws - within a week you're supposed to block what could be a portion of your user base?

Most areas of governance usually give years of preparation ahead of anything actually being enforced. This is so short-sighted.

Might as well be the slogan of the current era

But the law was signed over a year ago[1]? The recent development was that the injunction blocking the bill from being implemented got struck down. I'm not sure what you'd expected here, that the courts delay lifting the injunction because of the sites that didn't bother complying with the law, because they thought they'd prevail in court?

I don’t think it’s short sighted. They just don’t care.
