Imagine having the news broken to you by E621.net, a furry porn website. E621.net (click here to see furry porn lol) has a disclaimer covering today's topic: how the state of Arizona is balancing on a knife-edge as the Governor contemplates whether or not to Veto this ID Age Verification Bill. E621.net is an archive of furry porn that is fiercely moderated by its community of nerds who dedicate their spare time to finding, categorizing, and tagging countless pieces of furry porn for quick queries by potential consumers. Featuring a blacklist and virtually every possible type of furry and furry-adjacent pornography you can think of, E621.net is potentially the most "slice of the internet" a furry porn website can get, and its controversies are many.
You're gonna wanna read-on from here. I'll link the two relevant articles and a PDF I have about Arizona's current Bill and the broader problem here:
- Yesterday April 1st 2024, Bill goes to Az State Governor
- February 2023, Bill enters first drafts.
- (edit)Project 2025, which is the GOP's Trump/Christian Nationalist Theocratic Agenda.
- I'm watching for the next Media Release Kate Hobb's organizers put out online in a Legislative Action Update. The present bill HB2586 was not listed in her most recent action update.
CW's: U.S. Politics, Policy, Grim Portents and discussion of Pornography online. Also, SFW Content, NSFW Blog. Thanks, let's go.
[April 3rd 2024 Edits]: Small revisions for readability, extra linking, and clarification of my conclusion so that it's less "welp we're about to get murdered lol" and is actually what I meant to say... plan for websites you like to go offline.
New bill on the floor in Kansas, also sitting waiting on a Governor Signature which introduces their state's ID Law. Same week. Similar Scenario. Not looking good.
I recommend you check out this article that covers the specifics, it includes a link to the bill's text too.
