The old bags don't know where they are, let alone how a computer works. How are they possibly going to enforce any of this?

They hire younger folks to enforce the laws.

They do, that's true. But with better salaries in the private sector and strict anti-cannabis policies, their talent pool is tightly restricted.

The laws get passed down to people who do know how to enforce. Also part of it is requiring your isp and vpn providers to participate in enforcement

Probably at a local level whenever some law enforcement busybody already wanted an excuse to evict/prosecute undesirables. us-foreign-policy
