We may be losing E621 - SAVE WHAT YOU CAN!
4 months ago
The state of Arizona just passed a law that you need to be 21 or older to access porn, and all porn sites need age verification.
Those who don't follow the law will be fined over $250,000
E621 is hosted in Arizona...and now in trouble due to this law.
Full details from the site's owner

GOOD NEWS!
Looks like Bad-Dragon might help migrate the servers!

--MAJOR UPDATE--
With the help of Bad-Dragon, they are looking at legal and migration options to fight back against the regulation

Hi, I'm an e621 staff member. There are no plans to shut down the site, and Bad Dragon (e621's owner) is currently exploring their legal options.
While backing up your favorites is always a good idea, do not fall for fear-mongering posts like this! Wait for an official announcement from us instead.

That being said, most of my e6 browsing is when I'm not even logged in, I very rarely ever intentionally go there outside of getting the highest resolution forms of links posted in-Discord, and wouldn't allow my art on there thanks to the ability to post under-aged content alone, to say nothing of their patently-absurd "We're sophisticated art connoisseurs, and forbid such trite, low-brow drivel as "posting dirty comments on kink-laden posts, even when the artist/poster loves to read such things, and encourages them"...because latex hyper-bondage with machine milking is to be treated like the finest Vermeer, you deplorably-reprehensible hood-rat! hypocritically spits on the addressee of this abuse" stance on comment content.
We wouldn't have modern phones, vhs, bluray, DVD or the net without porn
While I've no confirmation, given the breadth of Women-No Pants (J.D. Vance)'s misogynist rhetoric, I wouldn't at-all be surprised if a majority of Dump's younger audience only voted for him on the misguided assumption doing so is what would finally get them laid and/or allow them to knock up anyone they pass on the street, and run without legal repercussions. (to say nothing of the mental defects that made them think that is the highest priority item on their to-do list).
That being said while I do not condone violence in any shape, or form outside of self-defence from those with murderous intent, the Fourth Reich seems to be forgetting that, unlike all the axis powers in 1940s Europe, this country bestows a "God-given" right to purchase firearms and ammo with alarming ease, so somebody would probably at least try to physically eliminate those responsible to protect their smut stash within hours.
Grab your dick and double-click, for porn, porn, porn!
True, this is under the guise of "Think of the children!", but no, any parent worth their salt would be monitoring, and putting in-bulilt locks on harmful sites, and those passing these laws couldn't give less of a crap, and some are likely paedos themselves, they just want to gull others with the standard US near-terroristic extremist branch of Christianity (Never mind that it's "By his guiding hand" all of this exists to begin with, using their own "logic")
Either way, can't imagine this will be lasting long.
