Hey, rude awakening for everyone hoping theyll be able to coast by on discord's internal age identification

Palantir wants your info too

A sketch of Dr Light and Roll from Megaman but dressed in a style more similar to the characters from Pragmata. Roll is in a big puffy red coat with two big buttons at the front, raising her arms and smiling. Dr Light is wearing a space suit style outfit and is looking at Roll with a smile. He has a big white beard and hair.

I adore your Pokémon hypno projects so much! Wonder if the academy has any for your gen 9 stuff someday

Word on the street is discord is rising up the ranks in the "Most Bullied Corporation" competition, I hope they make it to number 1

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)

Would it kill discord to at least include the 3rd option that google does for their verification freak shit of letting them see your emails instead? I’m way more comfortable with them seeing emails from substar and immediately letting me through than showing my fucking face

Google Drive has targeted NSFW content in the past. GitHub just pulled a ton of NSFW game mods and sex toy plugins. People chose Discord because they could host content within the shadows, avoiding a heavy moderating hand

Discord says hackers stole government IDs of 70,000 users As more sites require IDs for user age verification, expect more such breaches to come.

Posted in October - "Discord says hackers stole government IDs of 70,000 users" arstechnica.com/security/202...

I mean this as hard as I can: cancel your fucking nitro. it is LITERALLY the only thing that they fucking listen to.

hit 'em where it hurts!! 🥰✨

First one the first one!

You captured bw1s key art for Iris so well! Most artists replicate how the anime draws her this might be the first I’ve seen so that fun face she does in the game. Absolutely perfect!
