April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberShouldn't it be the other way around especially with steam approving refunds? lol

MemberI think this might be why there's no furry representation in the game

MemberThey've also not reverted the change of places where the game can't be bought because of it, in fact, yesterday they added 3 countries to it
They've also given the same treatment to Ghosts of Tsushima, forcing people to use a PSN account to play it and blocking the same countries from buying the game
Local Sad Lad
MemberMandatory PSN link was reverted.
Unfortunately SNOY's incompetence has led to 180 countries not being allowed to purchase the game.
We won the battle not the war.
