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’m pretty sure they mistakenly added the discord_(mlp) tag, which automatically added the my_little_pony, friendship_is_magic, and hasbro tags, even though they meant to add the discord_(app) tag, so I went ahead and removed the MLP related tags, since this has no relation to them. Granted, even though the description mentions the application, it’s not enough to warrant the tag being added here, so I left it out. Also, I changed the tag type for miles_2357 from a General tag to an Artist tag, if that’s really the case here. Hopefully this all helps out, and clears up any confusion you might’ve had.
