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!

MemberI may just have been on this site too long, but it really looks like he's giving an "I have plans with this one" look...

MemberI feel like Ignitus is an old WWII veteran and Cynder is the awe-struck child listening to his war stories.

MemberYeah back when kids wanted to hear these things from their grandparents. Now they're too busy with their cellphones and games to care. :x

MemberExactly! I'm 22 and I'll still sit down with war vets and listen to their stories. I mean they witnessed all sorts of gruesome things and lived to tell the tale. Who wouldn't want to hear stories from the Front Line by people who fought for the freedom of these entitled brats?
