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.

Which ones? The republican minority?
Hi. That is incorrect. Sorry.
Fuck

Why not moving the website on another country/continement ? Or even better federating it
oh, no, not the furries! but honestly:
FIRST THEY CAME FOR THE FURRIES AND I DID NOT SPRAK OUT
I mean, laws like this don’t just effect furries. It’s a privacy issue for everyone in the state, and everyone who who usesa website based out of the state.
Obligatory “yiff in hell” post
I assume there are more issues preventing them from simply relocating to another hosting?
I don’t think that matters if they have a business nexus presence in that state. Like if (most of) the developer(s) working on it are in the state they could be subject to the law.
I have no idea how government regulation of the Internet has become so normalized.

From your article:
The worst laws in the US are usually supported by both parties.
We have two parties: regressives and regressives but slower.

How much is a “substantial amount”? There’s not thaaat much porn on e621, most of it is marked safe
Well a lot of it is…
Well some of it is…
I’m relatively sure i saw one marked safe once…
I’m pretty sure that viewing pornography can be harmful to young children.
Not all “minors”, but some people forget that the phrase includes both 17 year olds and 4 year olds in some states…

I didn’t assign blame to the website, or to anything. I just said that viewing sexual material can be harmful to children.
I don’t know the site that much, but I know that “harmful to minors” can mean anything.
Yeah, like it could mean they’ll become furries.
Think of the children!
I’ll believe they’re thinking of the children when they use that phrase to make laws that agree with the environmental groups and governing bodies.
“furry” is like a new terminology for zoophilia?
There’s almost certainly way more zoophiles among the furry population, but most(?) furries aren’t attracted to literal animals AFAIK. Or don’t act on it. Uh
Zoophiles are generally shunned in the furry communities I know.
Sort of in the same way that “christian” is new terminology for pedophilia.
New?
Well, I mean…
Not really. It’s people who enjoy art of personified/anthropomorphized animals. Sometimes it’s sexual, sometimes it involves personas and costumes, sometimes it’s just rabbits in bankers’ outfits. It’s viewed as weird by a lot of people because they assume it’s all costumes and sex, but looney tunes technically also counts, so it’s much more widespread than people identifying with it is.
Lola bunny, creating an entire generation of furries.
Before that it was Disney’s Robin Hood.
Robin Hood is a human, isn’t he? Or did the film reveal something in the credits?
CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
Disney turned him into a fox boy, for reasons.
Ooh-de-lolly~
Furries have been around for a long long looooong time.
Have you seen depictions of the old Egyptian gods? Wild.
𓂺
Oh right, how could I forget.
Rip Disney animators, you did your jobs well
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.
