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's a furry site, not a politics site, and I think people just want to keep it that way. If that balloon had any other political figure, the downvotes would have been exactly the same.

MemberPersonally, the only politics I want to see on here are in fiction, where they're actually interesting.

MemberThat, and the fact that people who make use of the reductio ad Hitlerum tend to have the political consciousness of a wet sock anyway.
