The EFF reports that there’s a move in the Wisconsin state legislature to ban VPNs (Virtual Private Networks), using the excuse that this will somehow protect children.

This is the sort of thing that happens when persons with axes to grind start messing with something that they have no clue about. (Think Trump tariffs, for example.) Here’s a tiny bit from the article:

Instead of taking this as a sign that maybe mass surveillance isn’t popular, lawmakers have decided the real problem is that these privacy tools exist at all and are trying to ban the tools that let people maintain their privacy.

Follow the link detailed information about why this a bad, very bad, extremely stupid idea.
