@quebeclarper@WumpusCentral It’s not my problem if you’re okay with handing over your personal data to private companies—especially Discord, given its track record.
@DiscordPreviews It's obvious that they will continue to ignore the criticism and opinions of their users as long as they continue using their services.
Discord is rolling out a new age-assurance system worldwide.
>More than 90% of users won’t be asked to verify their age. Instead, Discord will estimate whether an account belongs to an adult or teen using signals such as account age, activity and the servers and games it’s connected to.
>Discord says it does not use messages, calls or other content to determine your age group.
>Adults won’t see any changes. Teen accounts will get extra protections, including restrictions on age-restricted content and spaces, while still being able to message friends, join voice calls and use normal servers.
>If Discord can’t determine your age, you can confirm that you’re an adult through options including a credit card, Apple App Store, Google Play, Google Wallet, AgeKey, a video selfie or an ID check, depending on your region and device.
Revolut didn’t get “hacked.”
It handed customers’ IDs, addresses, account numbers, transaction histories, selfies and more to an unauthorized third party after receiving a fake government request.
That’s the real KYC problem: once companies are forced to collect your most sensitive data, you’re trusting them to protect it for years.
More ID checks = more leaks.
Yet, governments are constantly pushing for more ID checks to access basic aspects of daily life, like social media...
