News: Feb 26, 2025 Show

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.

    If this is ai, then other images from this artist would also come into question.

    The older images are questionable too. Also they push out sometimes many images per day.

    Considering the style of all uploads here are similar and there's only stuff uploaded in like last year or so, that is the main issue here, so I cannot just delete a single post for that, it would then have to be everything unless proven othervice.
    But considering they are approaching hundreds and hundreds of artworks produced and shared in last 1-2 months alone, that's the kind of output that nobody can do that realistically. Additionally why is artists own posts here extremely JPG compressed other than to hide possible artifacts by JPG compressing them?
