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.

    actually this post has better quality and less jpg compression than the other one. the other one should be deleted instead.

    It's by 220 kbytes larger and the image doesn't look any sharper than the parent. That seems negligible to me.

    the quality on this one is noticeably better IMO, and i'd argue 220kbs is pretty marginal

    Image quality is not a matter of your opinion. It's either a better copy, or it's not. And if you would argue that a 220kb difference is marginal, then no need to argue since we're in agreement. Unless I should assume by your prior statement that you would rather argue 220kbs to be a substantial difference, well, then I imagine that you still hold floppy disks in high regard.

    the other picture was noticeably blurrier and it had more jpg artifacts. and seems like an admin agreed with me since it got deleted and this didnt. if you had opened the full sized images in own tabs and switched between them, you would have seen the difference.
