A black-and-white tuxedo cat sleeping inside a cardboard scratcher, his tongue slightly sticking out

I rubbed his tummy and he fell asleep with his tongue out. So cute

Took some tweaking. But it was worth it.

And it was relabeled "NCC-1701-E" by someone in the props department after Star Trek: Generations wrapped filming, anticipating that a Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home Scenario might be a possibility where the next Enterprise might be the same class of ship as the previous one.

Discord is going to start age-restricting users from certain features unless the user sends a face scan or ID

• All accounts will have a ‘teen-appropriate experience by default’

• Rollout begins in March

The entire purpose of the SAVE Act is to make sure trans people and married women can no longer vote. That's it.

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)

Age verification is deanonymization,
Deanonymization is censorship.

The Supreme Court is now taking away your right to anonymously *read* a form of speech. If speaking can mean that your readers have to subject themselves to potential consequences to read it, how can there be freedom of speech?

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.

I got an email saying that they cannot review email submissions, and only receive customer support questions through this form: dis.gd/contact

I would try submitting a complaint through there.

time to be loud about this terrible decision.
