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.

MemberIt happens because the image internally tagged as upside down (it's called EXIF orientation metadata). Such images are commonly produced by smartphones when you hold them at "incorrect" angles. I thought that in 2024, all JPEG processing libraries would obey the orientation tag, but apparently not...
Edit: anyone reported this bug to e621 admins yet?
