Wisconsin Gov. Vetoes Asking Adults to Prove They’re Adults Watching Porn
KEY POINTS
- •Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers vetoed bill AB 105 requiring age verification on porn sites.
- •The bill focused on sites with over one-third content harmful to minors attempting ID checks.
- •Evers stated the bill imposed an intrusive burden on adults accessing constitutionally protected material.
On the digital front of morality versus practicality, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers vetoed AB 105, a bill that would have forced residents to flash government-issued IDs before visiting porn sites. The bill aimed to police sites with at least one-third ‘harmful to minors’ content—a surprisingly specific threshold, like a sommelier for internet lewdness. More than two dozen states jumped on similar age-verification trains, but Evers, with the soul of a freedom fighter, said that asking adults to verify their age is an 'intrusive burden' on those enjoying constitutionally protected materials. This veto effectively says it’s easier to snicker at online smut than prove you’re not in middle school.

(1 of 3)Wisconsin just said that verifying your age before porn is too invasive. Because nothing says freedom like ignoring digital boundaries and ruining everyone’s browsing experience.
Age verification on porn is too intrusive? Wisconsin must think IDs are just government propaganda.
Asking adults to prove their age online is a crisis now. Next up: breathing licenses and blinking permits.
