Comment on Lawmakers Want to Ban VPNs—And They Have No Idea What They're Doing
Psythik@lemmy.world 3 months agoTo clarify my question, I’m referring to this line in the article summary:
If it becomes law, Wisconsin could become the first state where using a VPN to access certain content is banned.
It’s an age verification bill that requires all websites distributing material that could conceivably be deemed “sexual content” to both implement an age verification system and also to block the access of users connected via VPN.
They intend to make the websites enforce it.

This basically means that either you will not be allowed to use VPN at all (so your ISP would be monitoring connections to known VPN entry points) or that when you’re investigated for some other crime, if they find you used VPN to access certain things (by analyzing your devices) you will get additional charges. Depends on what the “certain content” will be.
