Good news: Discord's new age verification means more than 90% of users won't be asked to confirm their age at all. Instead, it's going to... profile you?
It just needs to know who your friends are, which communities you're part of, what games you play, how often you're online, and the full shape of your social graph.
They're calling it "privacy-preserving." Because technically they're not reading your messages.
In September 2025, a vendor Discord used for age-related appeals was compromised, potentially exposing government ID photos from around 70,000 users. That manual review process has been retired. For most users, the behavioural model now estimates their age group instead.
"Privacy-preserving." Cool. 🙂
No one but you and the lobbyist scumbags pushing for mass surveillance were looking forward to this nonsense. Can’t you read the room?
No, obviously you can’t, because it’s typical of tech companies to act like it’s always Opposite Day.
I hope you go out of business for this.
Call me crazy
This Discord and reddit ban proves the Internet providers are quick in listening and actually executing a total media blackout if the government actually wanted to
This is the start of something dark and I do not like it one bit
Did yall immediately memory hole the detail that Epstein was very active on 4chan and Reddit?
