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!

AdminI always use the edit on the sidebar (not the one under the image), so I've only hit the "are you sure you want to flag for deletion?" page by accident. Which isn't much different in type of mistake, but a lot more obvious to catch because it loads a completely different page. The box for editing tags and the box for making the first comment would look almost identical though, so a lot harder to tell if you've hit one by mistake. But your comment and then ippiki's reaction just made me lol, so thanks for the laughter. That's always a good thing. =)
