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!

Moderator@Iago1 why did you tag this with bvas?
Iago1
MemberI honestly don't remember doing that. I may have been tagging a couple of pictures at the same time and accidentally putting one tag in the wrong place. Though I don't normally use that tag to begin with, I really don't know why that went into the tags, here...Why is it shown with a black +, rather than the green for all the other added tags?
Anyways, removed.
Iago1
MemberNow I know, I copy-pasted the tags from the sketch and removed the sketch-related tags. Somebody has apparently added the bvas-tag there without my noticing, and I didn't notice to remove it here earlier.
Still curious about the black +, tho.
Versperus
ModeratorI added the bvas tag to sketch as the source was updated, and the black + is a tag that has been removed in the tag history.

MemberI love Maeve, and I LOVE this pairing! They are so darned cute together, especially when Maeve does things like this to get a rise out of Maddy.
