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!

MemberI made this full-size one with the original files but thanks for doing the last one, I didn't know if there was enough of a market for boobs/cloaca.

MemberAh, well i'm glad that I helped show there was at least somewhat of a market! And thank you for thanking me since what I did wasn't all that spectacular anyway <w>
And sorry if that comment sounded.. I dunno, bad, I guess? I actually didn't even see it was you who posted the redone version on my post, and I just saw that the poster for this one wasn't you-
