"It's great news. Politicians heard VPN users' worries and fears in Wisconsin, how a ban just wouldn't work, and removed that section," EFF’s Rin Alajaji told TechRadar, but “the bill is still very problematic even without the VPN provision." https://www.techradar.com/vpn/vpn-privacy-security/wisconsin-scraps-vpn-ban-from-age-verification-bill-following-backlash

Here's a page from the November 1983 edition of LOCUS. On one side, a review of the just-out SO YOU WANT TO BE A WIZARD. And on the other, the review of a brand new book by some guy named Pratchett. "Sounds like fun," I thought. "Must get a copy."😄 Happy Birthday, #Discworld! 🍾
