April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberThere's a tag for not_furry, and there's a safe rating for not porn. The FFD reason should be more along the lines of poor picture/scan quality.

MemberIt doesn't have to be porn to be on the website.
"Not furry" and "not porn" are both invalid reasons for deletion.

Memberthis is at least 20% cooler then most of the other posts that are not furry, not porn...and the only thing off-topic is you cause you are one of the people that still dont understand that this is a art-site and not yourfurryporntube (even if most of the content is fapable)...
