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.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberLOL, so true. But hey, at least they have the "bug stuck to their heads" now - back in the old-school days, they just had different outfits, and that's it.
WAITRESS: "what'll you have, boys? And DON'T say Raktajino, if I have to say one more time that we don't have.."
ODO: "Who ordered the Raktajino?"
WAITRESS: "the KINGONS!"
ODO: "Klingons?"
WAITRESS: "over there, and over there"
BASHIR: *confused at what looks like Humans* "Those are Klingons?"
WAITRESS: "alright... you boys have had enough"
LOL, forgive how much of a total Trekkie I am

MemberSpell check - I meant "KLINGONS" here, not KINGons (stupid Burger King comercial)

MemberK1, reminds me of that TNG episode where they went back in time to the Tribble episode. After having the old-style Klingons pointed out to them, the rest of the crew gave Worf a long look... He just replied with something like "We don't like to talk about it..."

MemberThat's exactly what it was supposed to be, although it was a DS9 episode, not a TNG, lol
