Wisconsinites Can Keep Watching Porn After Governor Vetoes Age Verification Bill

Across most of the U.S., if you want to watch porn online, you have to hand over a government ID or submit to a biometric scan to determine you’re over 18 years of age. But people in Wisconsin can keep freely accessing porn sites—and any other website that hosts more than one third adult content—after Governor Tony Evers vetoed the state’s age verification bill on Friday.
A copycat of the dozens of bills that have passed in the U.S. since 2022, Wisconsin’s Assembly Bill 105 would have forced sites with more than one third “material harmful to minors,” defined as “depictions of actual or simulated sexual acts or body parts including pubic areas, genitals, buttocks, and female nipples,” to verify visitors’ ages by “using any commercially reasonable method that uses public or private transactional data gathered about the individual.” This means uploading an ID, showing their face for a biometric scan, uploading their credit card information, or combinations of these.
“I am vetoing this bill in its entirety because I object to this bill’s intrusion into the personal privacy of Wisconsin residents,” Evers wrote in a letter to the members of the assembly, dated April 3. “While I agree that we should protect children from harmful material, this bill imposes an intrusive burden on adults who are trying to access constitutionally protected materials.”
Evers wrote that the bill doesn’t prevent platforms from giving collected personal data to third parties, such as the government or data brokers. “This is a violation of personal privacy,” he wrote.
“Additionally, I am concerned about data security and the potential for misuse of personally identifiable information. Identifiable information could be intercepted by or transmitted to a third party and used as the basis for blackmail or identity theft. Further, although the bill includes penalties for a business entity who violates the prohibition on retention of personal information, those penalties cannot undo the harm that may occur to an individual who is the victim of actions like blackmail or identity theft as a result of a bad actor obtaining their identity.”
Last year, after the UK’s Online Safety Act started requiring websites and platforms to verify users’ ages, Discord users’ age verification data—including selfies and identity documents—was exposed in a security breach. The hack was just one instance where users’ personal data has been required by a platform and then exposed to the whole internet: also last year, similar data was exposed by the Tea app, which made users provide selfies and identity documents to prove they’re women.
An earlier version of the bill attempted to ban Wisconsinites from accessing sites using virtual private networks (VPNs); lawmakers are increasingly pushing to restrict VPNs, but so far have faced pushback from citizens and civil liberties groups. Wisconsin state Sen. Van Wanggaard moved to delete that provision in the legislation, and the state assembly agreed to remove the VPN ban in February.
The adult advocacy group Free Speech Coalition wrote following the veto that Director of Public Policy Mike Stabile flew to Madison “to meet with legislators to discuss the legal and technological issues with the bill, including a ban on VPN traffic, and to advocate for device-based verification solutions.”
“Put simply, AB-105 raises significant concerns around privacy, surveillance, and the First Amendment,” the ACLU of Wisconsin wrote in testimony submitted in March. “While the ACLU of Wisconsin is sympathetic to the overarching goal of this legislation, we do not believe an appropriate trade-off is compromising the civil liberties of all Wisconsinites.”
Wisconsin is now one of only a handful of states left that allows access to porn without requiring users jump through invasive age verification hoops. “We can and should work to prevent minors from accessing adult content, but there are better solutions than the one offered by this bill,” Evers wrote in his veto letter. “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. Other states have been moving toward device-based solutions, and major tech companies are adopting these options as well.”
Multiple Hackers Warned Anti-Porn App Quittr About Security Issue for Months
At least three people warned Quittr, an app that wants to help men stop masturbating, about serious security issues for months, but the creators of the app didn’t fix them until weeks after 404 Media reached out for comment multiple times.
“I emailed the founders and explained the vulnerability. A developer responded, said he was ‘looking into ways to make our security better,’ and asked how I found it. I walked him through it step by step, even explained that the API key being client-sided is normal for Firebase and that they just needed to implement security rules,” an independent researcher who goes by Kaeden, said on her personal blog. “Then nothing. I followed up. No response. I followed up again. Nothing.”
I first wrote about Quittr’s security vulnerability in January after hearing about the app’s security problems from a different independent security researcher. At the time, I did not name the app because Quittr did not fix the issue despite reaching out to the developers about it multiple times. That security researcher found that Quittr had a misconfiguration issue in its use of the mobile development platform Google Firebase, which by default makes it easy for anyone to make themselves an “authenticated” user who can access the app’s backend storage where in many instances user data is stored.
That researcher originally contacted Quittr about the issue in September. Quittr’s founder, Alex Slater, acknowledged the issue, thanked the researcher, and said he would fix it in a matter of hours. When the researcher saw the issue still wasn’t fixed months later, they contacted 404 Media. I reached out to Slater and Quittr multiple times. Slater initially denied there was a security vulnerability, but then fixed the issue sometime before March 10. After this, I saw Quittr finally fixed the vulnerability and published another story naming the app.
Slater was also recently profiled in New York Magazine, which detailed the opulent lifestyle the success of Quittr has afforded them, including driving exotic super cars and living in a Miami mansion. Slater shares videos about his lifestyle on his personal YouTube channel as well.
Some of the data the researcher could access included users’ age, how often they said they watched porn, and written confessions about their porn watching habits. Many of the users self-identified as minors, according to the data.
In March, Kaeden provided me with emails showing he contacted Quittr about the same vulnerability on July 3, 2025.
“Your firebase (Database) is misconfigured its possible to read/write to anything, one of the things its possible to do for example is list all users and their info, which is pretty bad for an app of this nature,” Kaeden said in her email to Quitter. Kaeden also told Quittr exactly how to fix the issue and said that a bug bounty “would be highly appreciated” but he never received one.
A Quittr developer who identified as Caio emailed Kaeden asking for more information and thanked her for responsibly disclosing the issue. Kaeden provided that information, but never heard back.
Since publishing my story about Quittr in March, yet another independent security researcher, who asked to remain anonymous, contacted me to say they also notified Quittr about a similar vulnerability in August 2025. Altogether, three different security researchers told Quittr it was jeopardizing sensitive user data before 404 Media reached out to the app for comment about the issue not being fixed.
