News: Feb 26, 2025 Show

Feb 26th:A new bill in Arizona is making its way through the Senate that would force sites like e621 to implement mandatory age verification for all users—or face potential lawsuits. This system would require third-party vendors to verify every user’s age through a government database. Not only is this a massive violation of privacy, but it also introduces serious risks, including identity theft through phishing schemes and other malicious methods. Worse still, we would have no control over ensuring that user data is permanently deleted after verification.

Since e621 operates out of Arizona, this law would almost certainly impact us if it passes. If you want to help ensure that we can continue serving you without being forced to collect personal information, we urge you to contact Arizona’s senators and ask them to vote NO on this bill.

Please help spread the word about this issue and encourage others to take action.

This is the second time it happens this week and while I know artists aren't forced to add sources if there are any, I was wondering if this is something I should do because I don't think artists necessarily post to e621 only, the probably post to otherweb sites too.

Yeah, asked an artist recently and they were the minority that didn't post it elsewhere. TBH, source request is the tagme of source linking. I try to find primary sources first, and then others, and if that fails, who knows. :shrugs: The majority of time I'm adding sources to realllllllly old posts is because they have a lot of dead links. Note: Inkbunny's metapix domains can often be changed to get a working link. nl/tx/us/whatever will change. At least Wayback still works with the obsolete domain. XD
