It appears the bill would exempt AWS, DigitalOcean and "cheap server(s) for less than dollar"

The bill restricts "persons" from knowingly retaining identifying information on users. This is some peculiar wording maybe trying to allow for some loophole where automated retention of information is exempted
"Under the bill, persons that perform reasonable age verification methods may not knowingly retain identifying information of the individual attempting to access the website after the individuals access has been granted or denied"
"(b) A person that performs a reasonable age verification method in compliance with par. (a) may not knowingly retain identifying information of the individual attempting to access the website after the individuals access has been granted or denied."
The EFF title is inaccurate
The bill does not "ban" VPNs
It does not create illegality
It creates potential civil liability for certain businesses, and only if and when someone sues and wins
