Discord Will Require ID Verification in March

[Dead2009]

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

Age verification for all.

Discord announced on Monday that it’s rolling out age verification on its platform globally starting next month, when it will automatically set all users’ accounts to a “teen-appropriate” experience unless they demonstrate that they’re adults.

Users who aren’t verified as adults will not be able to access age-restricted servers and channels, won’t be able to speak in Discord’s livestream-like “stage” channels, and will see content filters for any content Discord detects as graphic or sensitive. They will also get warning prompts for friend requests from potentially unfamiliar users, and DMs from unfamiliar users will be automatically filtered into a separate inbox.

I hope people will wake up and move off the platform now. This age verification is a joke, while it's good on paper to try and protect minors on the platform it will backfire and already people's IDs were leaked when the UK rolled this out last year.

Hopefully I find out my Discord kittens weren’t lying about their age.

Oh wait…

FYI, one of the services they will use for this had a data breach recently.

So yeah, your data will be taken and spilled like everything else.
