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!

MemberI stopped liking Canada when they got into their cheap animation crap that replaced shows like Johny Bravo on CN (IE: Johny Test, TDI, TDA, etc.)

MemberBoy, do you hold onto a grudge or what? Johnny Bravo has been gone for years.

MemberWait, you dislike an entire country just because we produced some bad cartoons? You have a serious problem if that little thing turns you off of an entire country.

BlockedIn Canada you you get 5 years for spearing a salmon but if you murder someone you get like 2 because you had a bad childhood or something. What the fuck is up with that?!
On second thought, lets not go to Canada. It is a silly place.

MemberYeah it's nuts. You should see all the people who get turned away at the border for having guns on them because they think their constitutional rights exist outside their country as well.
Man, isn't that nuts?

BlockedHa!
That's interesting, though. Are Canadian border guards armed?
