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.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

BlockedWait, was this really about a real person? RIP, them, then. And I mean RIP as its true definition, not as in some sort of sarcastic remark.

MemberYeah, Doug Winger. Furry artist from the 90s and 00s super well known for herms, inflation, and Dad-level puns and jokes. Pretty much anyone who knew furry art in the 2000s had seen at least some of his art. He died in 2015 from complications as a result of COPD.

MemberBRUH, HE DIED???!
Ashram
MemberYep. Like I said, complications of COPD. He was in a bad spot for like a year or two before he died; he basically had to retire from everything because his COPD was so advanced, he wasn't in any space mentally or physically to do art, and he basically had no living relatives near him. His good friend and his sister had to step in and make the decision to take him off life support once he was admitted to a hospital and the doctor told them he likely wouldn't live the week.
