Edited screencap from The Muppets (2011). Lew Zealand: "Mr. The Frog we all agreed, a corporation is not a people."

"You shouldn't bully corporations. You should be nice to people."

Me:

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)

It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?

A crummy commercial? Son of a bitch!

There’s also Uncle Deadly if she wants someone to be spooky with

If you have Nitro on Discord, time to cancel it. Nothing gets a message across like hurting their wallets.

with these platforms at a certain point you gotta wonder if its gone beyond profit incentive into pure spite

If this is legit and they’re not bullied out of it, that’s going to be catastrophic.
Had a good run if so. I’m not feeding the identity thief machine.

We’re already on GameCube games and they STILL haven’t added DK64 or Smash

Game Time 👻🏈

The WORST

Free OCs from dreams are the best

Slightly tomboyish OC girl with medium-length messy hair of a pale yellow-green colour, wearing a dark waistcoat vest and white collared shirt over khaki jeans, striking a disinterested pose while looking at the viewer just as disinterestedly with her deep blue eyes.

This girl appeared in a dream a few nights ago so I decided to draw her before she vanished into the ether for good.

Bugs, in a white suit coat and black bowtie, is looking dejected while Daffy, in a blue suit coat with matching tie, is drinking shot after shot after shot.

The last Cartoon Network Big Game, Bugs Vs. Daffy, was back in 2001.

Twenty-five years ago.

Coyote vs. ACME 360 - 160/360

The Big Game is here. And between 1998 and 2001, Cartoon Network has aired a series of #LooneyTunes marathon specials satirizing the Super Bowl from the pregame to the main event as footage from the classic shorts were used to create the storyline.

I can't post the high quality original here because of BSky video limitations. So here's a Vimeo link.
