Someone explain TOR to them
It's a strict liability law.
If the state chooses to prosecute the site then all they need to do is prove 1. That the user was actually in Utah and 2. That they did business with the site.
It doesn't matter if the user's IP shows that they are on the Moon. The law doesn't take into account their knowledge or intent, only what actually happened.
It's like manslaugher or statutory rape laws. What the person intended or knew doesn't matter, only what actually happened.
This really makes me wonder if they are planning IPv6 blocks specifically for lunar or extraterrestrial use...or if NASA and other agencies would just use their own ranges on the moon.
Who would be in charge? Like here, ARIN/RIPE/APNIC handle their own global regions. Would there be another agency in charge of the whole moon? Or would the existing agencies just have jurisdiction over the lunar regions colonized by their member states?
You're in luck. The IETF published a document on the topic just last year:

Tor exit nodes are public and even easier to block than VPNs.
Vpn->tor-> publiwhaza?
Irrelevant. The end goal is they can say "you connected to a site without going through our checkpoint, you're liable". Then the fun begins.
The teshnikully… discussions are useless against this. Heck, given how some networks operate, I would not be surprised if some people would fall into this without even knowing.
Just wait for the "mandatory government issued World ID" required to access internet websites...
TOR is a great way to put yourself on a short list of "people who might be up to something." It's almost a guarantee that many, if not most, TOR nodes are run by or otherwise 100% monitored by various and sundry intelligence agencies around the world.
The recent banning of pornhub access through much of the U.S. Southeast may actually have been an attempt to flood these agencies with zero value traffic to analyze.
