Nah, they know exactly what they are doing, and it's what their owners tell them to.

    Why when every major corporation uses VPN. All insurance companies do TO PROTECT YOUR DATA.

    We need make sure they know blocking VPN is guarantee bad move that will lose them elections.

    I’d rather ban lawmakers to be honest.

    When you get right down to it, VoIP is a VPN. Imagine what would happen if THAT was outlawed…. I don’t think there’s much telephony that still uses POTS.

    I've spent more than two decades in IT.

    Our lawmakers are fucking idiots and create laws for things they don't understand. Go ahead and ban VPNs and watch domestic economic activity come to an immediate halt.

    Many companies will be destroyed overnight. The rest will be severely crippled and require immediate organizational reshuffling.

    If they try this on a state by state basis, the rest of us will get to see what happens when your moron neighbor touches the hot stove.

    They'll make an exception for business use by corporations with enough money to pay, and for themselves. It'll only hurt the little people who can't afford million-dollar lawyers.

    You could say that about any law they propose. 90% of the time, the law won’t do what they say it will.

    Surely Anon is gonna show up to make a point about this. Some conservative politicians from red states are going to have their viewing preferences outed. Hopefully there is enough kink in their web history to embarrass them into rolling back these draconian attempts to control the populace. The few who have a staffer who’s shown them how to use a vpn will be exposed as hypocrites (not that their constituents will care) “vpn for me, not for thee”. I can’t imagine another group of people who probably have more controversial viewing tastes than conservative politicians. For all I know they’ll get off on having their kinks exposed, let’s find out.

    Being an informed voter means recognizing that they never have any idea what they're doing.

    Lol. They would have to ban all end-to-end encryption and inspect every packet.

    Good. Let Wisconsin have their bans. Red states don’t deserved anything good. And, when you work remotely and get banned from using a vpn, well tough shit.

    I thought they were going to require age verification for VPNs but their demand is even more stupid. They want porn sites to recognise when someone is using a VPN and then block their access if they're in Wisconsin. I want this law to pass now so that they can look stupid in front of more people.
