Discord says that the “vast majority of people can continue using Discord exactly as they do today” without needing to use a face scan or ID to verify their age
Either because they aren't accessing age-restricted experiences, or if its AI predicts they're old enough.

Discord just posted a novel about the age assurance. I'm guessing that everyone who's been canceling Nitro/Subs/Boosts is having an impact on their upcoming IPO. [image]

This statement is misleading and attempts to minimize the very invasive practices involved in any form age verification/age “assurance”. Here's a video I did breaking down why this technology is extremely invasive and should not be rolled out https://www.youtube.com/...

“More clarity” isn't what we want. We want you to scrap this dogshit policy altogether If all this data is client-side only and instantly deleted, then how the hell did thousands of IDs get leaked when you were hacked JUST 4 MONTHS AGO?

Discord is trying to clarify its upcoming global age verification, and it looks like it's getting double community notes. [image]

you know they're noticing the pressure being placed on them when they're forced to spin blatant lies like this, keep cancelling those nitro subscriptions and keep letting them know how you feel.
