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.

MemberI'll never understand japanese censoring, why are the gaping cum-puking assholes okay but the spread creampied vaginas not?

MemberCurrently, some politicians are working to eliminate censorship, but it will take time to realize.

MemberOh that's nice! But my question was more, why aren't the gaping assholes and gaping pussies censored equally? They're pretty much the same no? Two fleshy holes someone just splooged in and now on display drooling and leaking.

MemberAccording to pixiv's rules, the butt is only censored at the time of insertion.
Censorship is not unified by law, and each site has different rules
Horsemonger
MemberAfter WW2, the USA christian admiralty forced the censorship laws on Japan.

MemberIt seems to date back to the Empire, though it was upheld by the post-war government. Article 175 of the 1907 Criminal Code basically comes down to "Sale, distribution or display of obscene drawings can be punishable with up to 2 years in prison or a 2.5 million yen fine".
Because it's so old and archaic, artists have a bit of leeway in how they censor - usually with some small bars over part of the dick and stuff, or the entirety of the tentacle porn genre. Unfortunately, it's not toothless, though - people are still charged with obscenity, and there's always a bit of a concern of a crackdown. Not to mention, I'm not sure if there's anyone in the government who gives enough of a shit to risk their career on changing the laws.
In short, the Japanese legal system and porn industries are fucking weird.

MemberThank you for the info! So basically Japan has the most obscene porn of all AND simultaneously the strictest laws AGAINST obscene porn? Oh man
