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!

MemberThis is a story all about
How my life got caffinated up all around
And I liked to take a minute and sit right there
And tell you how I own a French Press of Bel Air
In West Londontown was born and raised
On the castle moat where I spent most of my days
Teapot out, 2 sugar, some creamer all cool
And all sippin' it all hot before it got cool
When a couple of raiders who were up to no good
Startin', makin' trouble in my castle wood
I got in one lil' melee and the Queen got scared
She said, "You're movin' out with the French press of Bel Air"
I whistled for a coachman and when it came near
The coach had coffee and hot water to spare
If anything I can say, this blend is rare
But I tasted, naw, forget it, yo, better coffee out there
I pulled up to the cafe about seven or eight
And I yelled to the coach yo homes brew ya later
I looked at my kingdom, I was finally there
To sit on my throne the French Press of Bel Air
