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.

    Extremely hard to say what's the actual case here. However to me at least it seems like the pose is what's exact match, not any of the linework.

    I indeed used it as heavy reference, if that's prohibited I won't do it again

    Nah, nothing wrong with that. Just that we have chosen here to not host traced content, so we are kinda evaluating that and users are encouraged to point it out by flagging the posts like that.

    Biggest problem arising from this is that if the reference is way too much on spot that people start to harrass over the fact. I think there has been at least one case where artist has nuked their work as they didn't want to deal with the accusations. Just remember that if that starts happening here you can always report users or ask admins to clarify the situation in the comments.
