State VPN bans

Wisconsin’s S.B. 130 / A.B. 105 is an age verification bill that bans certain VPN use. VPNs are used for all sorts of normal things, like say you’re a Swedish person who wants to be able to access more Swedish language tv and film. VPNs hide your location and are commonly used by abuse survivors, journalists, normal humans, universities, and businesses.

Since VPNs are not detectable by websites, it also makes Wisconsin’s legislation unworkable.
