E621 will need to Move, Shut Down, or Comply with new AZ Law

Heads up. E621.net likely to shut down in 90 days, or move (it sounds like move, but nothing is in stone atm). The Az Governor did not, in fact, veto (the bill which would require ID based age verification systems).
We're facing two federal initiatives meanwhile. The first is the Kids Online Safety Act or KOSA, and the second is currently called the Lee Bill which seeks to expand the definitions of Obscenity Law and remove legal protections for artistic merit and court defense of Obscene Content.
This stuff is real for fellow US Citizens, and anyone who depends on US Server hosting. This includes Furaffinity, Bluesky, Twitter, Tumblr, and I think Weasyl, Furrynetwork and SoFurry are all also based in US Server infrastructure. Internationally hosted sites like Inkbunny.net will require a VPN.
Obscene content includes an awful lot of the stuff on this website, meaning that anything US based that hosts furry porn, gay porn, ABDL, etc. etc.; Of course, there is also talk about banning peer to peer encryption and VPN's...
The last time this topic was discussed was in 2023 with the RESTRICT act, it was part of the RNC's pressure to ban Tiktok. Cnet.com has an article about how that initially went down., and Forbes talked about how VPN usage initially failed to circumvent the ban.
The fandom may need to go to ground or go international. That could be happening by end of year.
Decentralize your Online Alias TODAY. Archive the things you like, no one else will do it.

Degenerates, all of them. I can think of nothing more degenerate in a society than persecuting people existing, having fun, and art. Yes, it is a nazi word, but this is nazi shit and I have no qualms about using nazi words against nazi ideas
- secretly every anti-porn politician
more "normal" porn sites already figured this out by basing their companies in cyprus/congo/south africa etc etc
