Ok, here’s proof of what you make me assume you’re referencing as there’s no mention of anything at all, just broad statements. Also, look above, I’ve provided data already while you’ve gone little kid mode getting cranky and just blindly following the nonsensical trajectory of you’re ludicrous and half baked initial statement.

“Facial age estimation tools are notoriously unreliable, particularly for people of color, trans and nonbinary people, and people with disabilities. The internet has now proliferated with stories of people bypassing these facial age estimation tools. But when systems get it wrong, users may be forced into appeals processes or required to submit more documentation, such as government-issued IDs… Even newer approaches (things like age inference, behavior tracking, financial database checks, digital ID systems) expand the web of data collection, and carry their own tradeoffs around access and error.”

Falls on it’s face lol! You mean a single T left uncrossed, whereas you’ve omitted relevant and quite well known info regarding Discord finally being on the cusp of their IPO after attempting it for more than 10 years.

Nonetheless, this “AI recognition” which somehow destroys my well laid out and supported comment requires an extensive behavior profile to even be an option for each user. Worse yet, it’s proprietary software that’s been shown on multiple occasions to be horrendous with accuracy. These accuracy issues may result in this AI company having your biometric data while also now being forced to upload an ID to get on the platform.

PS: The EU, Australia, and United States population’s combined is 9.9% of the worlds population. But due to 38% of US states and 11% of EU countries with some ID law, plus Australia’s first attempt to keep kids under 16 off social media, you still can somehow validate the global enforcement of laws put forward by the minority population from a group representing less than 10% of the planet?!

You’re either horrendous with math and simple reasoning, being paid by Discord, or a troll that’s real terrible at their job

Which regulations required Discord to default users worldwide as teens and request government ID’s to resort some of the basic functionality if there’s contradicting or limited user data?

Discord has been aiming to have their IPO in Q1 2026 for a while now, which I have to assume you didn’t know. Thinking all this is due to wide spread privacy invasive laws enacted by many countries across the globe and not Discord just attempting to associate verified and specific data to most of their end users is laughable!

Discord has confidentially filed for a US IPO, targeting a Q1 2026: https://web.archive.org/web/20260217002224/https://techfundingnews.com/discord-ipo-q1-25bn-valuation-microsoft-rejection/

Checking out readability formulas, like the Flesch‑Kincaid grade level formula, should help to clear things up a bit. But in general, a 6th grade reading level is where concrete language, moderate sentence length, and single step reasoning all align. Adding abstract vocab, multiple embedded clauses, or deep cultural references push text above a 6th grade level.

That’s just for adults, for children the data ranks the States against one another rather than giving an average illiteracy percentage like with adults. Here’s a top tier link on the topic: https://www.thinkimpact.com/literacy-statistics

Another review of the source material for good measure: https://www.crossrivertherapy.com/research/literacy-statistics

21% of the U.S. is illiterate, with 54% topping out at a 6th grade reading level. Meaning 75% of the U.S. reads at a middle school level, at best… So this clown trying to convince people he’s in the 25% of folks able to read above a 6th grade level is legitimately hilarious!
