@SemenSheep Take the eHentai galleries down 1) I am not a man! 2) You are using my Dead Name to advertise your AI slop sales 3) I have NEVER and will NEVER buy your slop, support your slop, nor do I give you permission to use my dead name or new name in any advertising.
@MeadorFTC LIAR!! I am against forced ID verification, I hate Pedos and I have never been paid by one of them!! You don't belong in government, and all you're doing is spitting lies, slander and propaganda.
How about you don't make the platform worse for everyone and encourage the use of the family center for parents to watch what their teens and kids are getting involved with?
You're whole thing is acting like there is no parental controls on your own platform at all, when there is.
Don't go this damn route with age verification, you're making it more dangerous for EVERYONE with that because it opens up the gates for identity theft to happen, much like you already had happen with that other vendor in the UK that compromised 70,000 government issued IDs which are now circulating around the web, and will very much cause issues for those 70k folks in the future through identity theft.
Your job isn't to do what the parents should be doing, you aren't the parent of the teens on the platform. Encourage parents on your platform to use the Family Center and to get more involved with what their kids/teens are doing on the platform as it's their job, not yours.
You're caving to governments that are over-reaching their powers all because lazy parents gave them the bullets to take the shot with. Push the Family Center, don't push the verification route like you're trying to do.
You've lost me as a Nitro subscriber all because of this whole thing, and you won't be getting me back as such unless you abandon the route you're trying to chase and start pushing for extended use of the Family Center you guys already have on the platform, which is the parental controls.
That whole feature is meant to protect teens and kids by letting the parents know what their kids are engaging with, and you're going on as if it never existed in the first place with this when the job to protect kids isn't yours in the first place, but is in fact the parents duty to protect their own kids.
A NEW CHALLENGER HAS APPEARED
IN THE LINK BELOW YOU WILL SEE
THE VERY SAME COMPANY THAT SAID AGE VERIFICATION WAS SAFE, EFFECTIVE, AND YOUR DATA WOULD NOT BE STORED
AND SAID THAT YOUR DMS ARE NOT BEING MONITORED OR READ
HAS NOW GOTTEN CAUGHT WITH THEIR PANTS DOWN ALLOWING ARC RAIDERS TO NOT ONLY READ YOUR DMS BUT TO SAVE THEM IN PLAIN TEXT SILENTLY ONTO YOUR PC FOR ANY OTHER APPLICATION WITH READ PERMISSIONS TO SEE.

@Mojang@MojangSupport@MojangStatus@Microsoft Today I learned you're violating the First Amendmant of the American Constitution which ensures our right to free speech. As companies that opperate in the USA you need to respect our rights.
@discord You still got it wrong. We want it ALL GONE. This isn't a back and forth, we arent haggling. We told you what we want and not only did you ignore us bit the only thing you did was push it back so this could blow over. I will be so happy to find work around, catalog and share them
@discord Keep fighting, it's working!
They're just baiting you to buy nitro again.
⚠️Do NOT fall for it.
Damage is done, trust is gone.
Age verification and the likes must be CANCELLED completely.
"We want to protect teens."
Then find a way to get parents to do their jobs again. Its not the rest of the worlds job to put themselves at risk because there are parents who let their kids do whatever they want. We are not their parents. You are not their parents. Do not push that BS on us. Do not infantize the internet or well end up looking like the people in Demolition Man who are afraid of everything.
This ID verification push is not "for the safety of children on the internet." Its a data harvesting push using a basic level of psychology everyone knows: appeal to the moralities of society to further your agenda 1 step at a time.
We literally cannot trust this because there was a worldwide leak just recently leaking names, addresses, phone numbers and more personally identifying information (PII). This goes beyond anonymity for online creators and the average gamer. There are people who are unstable enough to take a grudge/obsession into real life.
Instead of bowing to the global age verification push companies need to stand against it. Im military and we protect PII with the same level of conviction as we defend a base. Theres trainings, inspections, security measures and, in the event of leaks, cleanup and discipline if necessary.
You cant "get global age verification right." That would require every company handling it having a military level of dedication to safeguarding PII with many levels of deterrence for bad actors to get through.
@discord Just don’t do it like this should be something done by parents not governments or social media companies
And we shouldn’t be tracked by a government for saying we are upset about a government agency
@jondelarroz@discord It's shit like this that's caused this clusterfuck in the first place. Stop suggesting they eliminate adult spaces to "protect kids" when that's just fucking over adults.
@discord@discord and @discord_support You NEED to stop! Not delay it, STOP it. We will keep leaving and unsubscribing! We no longer trust you! We know you lie! We will not yield!
time to roast you once and for all!
This statement isn't "clarity"—it’s a confession. Discord just admitted they are using invasive behavioral tracking to profile you, all while trying to gaslight us into thinking "Cripple-Mode" is a choice.
Here is the full technical and legal takedown of @discord’s PR disaster: 🧵👇
1️⃣ The "ML Prediction" Bombshell: We are being profiled
Discord claims most won't need a scan because their "advanced machine learning model" will predict your age based on "patterns of user behavior." * The Reality: This is mass behavioral surveillance. To "predict" your age with "high confidence," they are tracking how you click, who you talk to, and how you navigate.
The Trap: If the algorithm—which is a black box—decides you "look" like a teen, you are immediately forced into the biometric funnel. You are guilty (underage) until proven innocent by a facial scan.
2️⃣ The "2025 Leak" Irony: You can't talk your way out of history
In their own FAQ, Discord mentions the September 2025 data breach where 70,000 government IDs were leaked. They say, "These vendors weren't involved."
The Reality: It doesn't matter which vendor it was. It proves that Discord’s ecosystem for handling sensitive documents is fundamentally broken.
The Logic: You’re asking us to trust "new partners" with biometric data when you couldn't even manage a customer service agent's access to static IDs? Trust is earned, and you are currently in the negatives.
3️⃣ The "On-Device" Myth: Software is the gateway
They claim facial scans "never leave your device."
The Reality: The software doing the scanning belongs to the vendor. If the code is running on your phone, it still captures the data.
The Risk: Once that biometric "on-device" infrastructure is in place, it’s one silent update away from becoming a cloud-syncing surveillance tool. We’ve seen this play out with "Client-Side Scanning" debates for years. It’s a back-door by design.
4️⃣ The GDPR Art. 7(4) Collision: This is Coercion
Discord says you only need to verify to access "age-restricted experiences" or "modify safety settings."
The Legal Reality: By locking core settings and community access behind a biometric wall, you are coercing consent. * The Violation: Under GDPR Art. 7(4) (Coupling Prohibition), consent is NOT valid if the provision of a service is made dependent on the processing of data that is not necessary for that service. Discord functioned for a decade without facial scans. It is NOT "necessary." This is a legal house of cards.
5️⃣ The "Minority" Gaslighting
They keep saying only a "minority" will be affected.
The Reality: On Discord, "age-restricted content" isn't just adult stuff. It's thousands of political, medical, and niche interest communities. By targeting this "minority," you are effectively de-anonymizing the most vulnerable and active parts of your user base.
THE VERDICT:This statement is a desperate attempt to stop the Nitro exodus before the IPO. They are trying to rebrand "behavioral profiling" and "feature-locking" as "safety."
We don't want "clarity" on how you're going to track us. We want the REMOVAL of the biometric mandate and the RESTORATION of full features for all users without surveillance.
The "pause" isn't enough. The #DiscordFail continues until the code is gone. 📉
