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.

  • @anthrojoe you might have uploaded it as an Icon. Which will be lucky if it stays. However please note that 4 valid tags are required upon upload of an image. "User_image" is not a valid tag.
    Tagged it for you in the mean time.

    There is no guideline for icons. Any image relevant to the site can be uploaded and used as an icon. Just be sure that you find the highest resolution available.

    What edidaf said. The smaller images tend to get deleted should they be too small, have jpg artifacts, or a larger version be found. (Or if its like not site related, in this case id say its fine but you never know).
