Hey everyone...
Sooooo... As many of you may have seen recently if you are as chronically online as me, there has been a massive wave of censorship and lack of anonymity spreading on the internet in many countries. Such as YouTube in the United Kingdom (and soon the USA) where they are now requiring people to use either credit card info, government issued IDs, or to show your face in order to prove you are above the age of 18, or else they will restrict your usage of YouTube if their shitty AI detection system thinks you're under 18, all in the name of "PrOTecTinG THe kiDs" when in reality, it is a Trojan Horse to take away my, and your privacy and freedom.
So, I bring this up to warn all of you. Please, for the love of God Prepare and inform yourselves, your family and your loved ones if you have not, if nothing is done, we may slip into a dark future, that is full of control from the government and corporations where free speech is dead, along with anonymity.
I know it seems reeaally random for some random bubble fetish artist to bring this up, but I believe this should reach every corner of the internet, this concerns all of us.
Also, I am seriously considering deleting my account for good. If things seem like they start getting worse, and if there is a risk for me to lose my anonymity here on Fur Affinity, I will leave.
So, if things get worse, and the world goes to shit, and we lose our freedoms, let me just say, it was nice to be a part of this community, and I thank you all for the support you have given me. You are all such great artists with such great creativity. So please, if you can, fight for your right to be free to make and do what you want.
Sorry for getting all serious like this, but I felt like I needed to say this.
See you all in a hopefully brighter future.

OP
Also, just as a note: if things start to get better and action is taken against governments and companies, and anonymity is here to stay, I will NOT delete my account!
