Discord slammed over age verification face scan controversy
www.newsweek.com
Discord users are unhappy with the platform's decision to roll out age verification requirements for adult user accounts starting in March.

Starting in early March, the platform will place every account into a default “teen-appropriate” experience unless it has proof that users are adults.

The move has brought widespread criticism from Discord users, who are citing privacy and security concerns following a recent breach of a third-party vendor that ended up exposing around 70,000 government ID images used to verify the age of Discord users.

      Ts6 server owners need a sub. Clients are fine. I’ve used to since ts2. Those guys are good ppl. Not a big team. Just making good software for voice chat groups. I’ll never not love ts even though I don’t use it anymore.

      If I could convince my communities to swap, I’d do it in a heartbeat. The new one is great.
