News: Feb 26, 2025 Show

Feb 26th:A new bill in Arizona is making its way through the Senate that would force sites like e621 to implement mandatory age verification for all users—or face potential lawsuits. This system would require third-party vendors to verify every user’s age through a government database. Not only is this a massive violation of privacy, but it also introduces serious risks, including identity theft through phishing schemes and other malicious methods. Worse still, we would have no control over ensuring that user data is permanently deleted after verification.

Since e621 operates out of Arizona, this law would almost certainly impact us if it passes. If you want to help ensure that we can continue serving you without being forced to collect personal information, we urge you to contact Arizona’s senators and ask them to vote NO on this bill.

Please help spread the word about this issue and encourage others to take action.

    not quite, the old post is lesser quality than this one

    and somehow the parent post is of lower quality than it should be?
    "lower quality version of post #101559."

  • The original is the one that was previously posted. This one was a vector made from the aliased original. They are essentially two different images and whoever flagged the original for deletion needs to be more discerning in their decision to do so when comparing images of different resolutions.

  • i dont know why people are calling the other version low quality and pixelated.
    the other was made with anti-aliasing off, so if you put it back in any art application, it (most likely) looks exactly how it was when it was made. uncompressed.
    the same goes for this one.

    neither version is low quality, this one just was made with that feature turned on
