Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults. Hey folks – I’ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so today’s announcement on our blog is something I’ve been pretty involved with. I’ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured I’d add some more context to today's news. I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults.

And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.) Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence. Anyway, we’ll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what we’re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details. And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. We’re definitely reading it!

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."

Sisko is Pissed off here.

Why do I love Captain Sisko/Avery Brooks?

Brook's Acting Ability to project being visibly pissed off and with the right tone of voice can really scare the crap out of you if you piss him off.

Honestly it's one of the most entertaining things from DS9 to me.

A screenshot from a fake video game. It shows a black screen with a gray buttons for Menu, Start, and directional arrows. There's a depleted life bar and some eeries items on the side bar. The player is in an empty, grainy hallway. The cursor hovers over a black text box that says "There's someone here with you"

Another screenshot from the fake video game. This screen shows a an empty elevator with an open door. The cursor hovers over a text box asking "Get on the elevator? YES or NO." The player is trying to press NO

A screenshot of the player in anothet weird cold empty hallway. This one has a door open up to another weird corridor. The text box says "There door wasn't there before."

So I've taken up taking photos of my cursed apartment building. I decided to use them to make screenshots for a fake video game exploring it

I plan to make more of these fake game artifacts with my cursed apartment tour photos 💾

Just a PSA for people, FreeTaxUSA is an excellent tool for filing taxes. Do not, I repeat, do not give your money to TurboTax. They lobby congress to keep tax filings difficult and inflate their prices to make it more expensive.

FreeTaxUSA.com is about as good as it gets today.
