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!

MemberThis is why Don't Ask Don't Tell should have stayed in place.

MemberI'm now going to point out the flaws in your logic. The don't ask don't tell policy was not in place necessarily to filter out homosexuals, as much as it was to protect their privacy, and they're physical and mental well being from homophobes. I believe it shouldn't have been repealed, but not because I'm against homosexuality, but I'm in the military, and I know how ignorant people are. So, I think it should've stayed in place for the safety of the individual, not the comfort of everyone else.

MemberI really hope you are trolling.
If not, why??? Because the gay soldiers would be havin' sex and you would still be a virgin? Or maybe cause you are just that much of a homophobic prick that the thought of this happening scares you?
Straight guys and quite a few gay guys need to get the fuck over themselves and mind stop trying to police others.
If you don't like it, then go ahead and die on the battlefield without being close to someone the night before. Hell I hope you can jerk off to the thought that an imaginary god is going to save you as you lay there, ALONE.
