If I understood it correctly, per that legislation and given how the technology works, adult sites would have to block everybody coming to them from a known VPN exit point, not matter where the user actually is (because a site can’t really tell were a user actually is when they’re behind a VPN) to comply with it, meaning that it would impact everybody everywhere in the World using a VPN.
De facto Wisconcin’s legilslature is trying to imposed their will not only on those who live in Wisconsin, not only on those who live anywhere in the US but on those who live anywhere in World.

Aaaaaaand I can switch to residential proxies, I can still appear from wherever the fuck I want.
You. Can’t. Stop. This.
All this will do is cause actual criminals to hide it better, that is it.

Theoretically the sites would have to block all IP addresses of all cloud providers, including massive ones such as Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure, because people in Wisconsin can just run VPN Server software in a container or virtual machine inside one those to have their own individual VPN.
Similarly they would have to block all exit IPs of most companies because somebody in Winsconsin might be using a the VPN of the company remotelly go to their company network and via it access those sites.
This law is completelly insane.
