Wisconsin Reverses Decision to Ban VPNs in Age-Verification Bill

Wisconsin has reversed its decision to ban VPNs in age-verification bills after facing significant backlash from the public and tech industry. The bill aimed to block VPN users from accessing 'harmful material' on the internet. However, the law would have required websites to block VPN users, which raised concerns about online freedom and privacy.

The decision to reverse the ban comes after CNET reported on the controversy surrounding the bill. The article highlighted the potential consequences of the ban on online freedom and the tech industry's opposition to the law.

The reversal of the ban is a significant victory for online freedom and the tech industry. It shows that public pressure and opposition from the tech industry can lead to changes in policy and legislation.

The decision to reverse the ban also highlights the importance of online freedom and the need for governments to balance online freedom with the need to protect children from 'harmful material'.
