US State Attempts to Ban VPNs in Name of Child Safety

🔒 Wisconsin lawmakers are advancing legislation that would require age verification on sites deemed potentially sexual and mandate blocking users who access content via VPNs. The measure, A.B. 105 / S.B. 130, expands definitions of harmful to minors and would force site operators to verify age and detect or block VPN connections. Critics argue it undermines privacy, free expression, and effective safety outcomes, and advocates such as the EFF call the proposal a terrible idea.
