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!

Memberid install mal0 if it did this instead of just giving you really bad paranoia. I think we all would.

MemberI'd do it just see if I could communicate with it regardless of risk.

BlockedIt doesn't say what happens after it appears in your periphery, so I imagine you will likely get used to it or it will appear in person before long

MemberThere's a story linked to it, and honestly I'd probably end up the same way. 1471s are definitely creepy at first, but it seems like they just want companionship. I feel like the issue is most don't want to acknowledge them, but if you do, things go a lot better. Maybe it COULD get to this stage :P

I mean, I have zero issue with any of this, but then again I have weird taste. 11/10 would install and give attention to.
