e621, a furry image forum, will be forced to verify their users identities if this bill passes (slrpnk.net)

Here's a link to the news. https://e621.net/news_updates

Edit: As people in the comments pointed out, this bill targets all websites hosting porn. e621 just happens to be hosted in Arizona, and it therefore affects them directly.

This is not a witch hunt against that site. It's probably the only site residing in arizona that cares and which you visit. They could easily relocate, which they probably do if the bill is passed.

My bet is that it is a law against porn, and furry porn would be inside that

They just outlawed 99% of the internet?

It's not outlawing. It's inlawing.

Wait. That's something different. It's regulating.

No wait, that's something different too. It's "but think of the children!!!"

Feel bad for the Arazona guys that don't get to witness the newest porn fad.
