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!

MemberName your daughter lizard so people call her Liz for short and when people ask her "what's your name?" she has to say "Liz." Then They'll say "oh is that short for Elizabeth" and she'll have to say "No it's short for lizard."

MemberSo far this is really wholesome.
I’m a tad apprehensive though given the way HNT developed.

MemberThat's the same thought process of naming your daughter Megatron so she's called Meg for short, and when she's asked if her name is short for Meagen, she'd have to say "No, it's short for Megatron."
