Good veto. Age verification sounds reasonable in theory until you realize the implementation always requires handing your ID to every website you visit. We tried this with alcohol and tobacco — the solution was point-of-sale checks, not a national ID scan at every store entrance. The internet equivalent would be device-level parental controls, which already exist and do not require building a surveillance infrastructure that will inevitably be misused or breached.

Incredibly based. Republican authoritarians with dementia hate this one cool trick.

Guys, let’s keep it up. We’re getting more small victories, but we need to win the war. Keep spreading the message and keep calling the representatives.

“… there are better solutions than the one offered by this bill. For example, we can work with tech companies to implement device-based age verification that takes place on a user’s phone or computer, which can be a more secure and effective method” -Gov Evers
Seems like he would be happy to sign a more California style bill. Still better than what was being proposed here at least, and hopefully Wisconsin’s legislature won’t even get around to trying another more “acceptable” age verification thing.
