This is being sold as “teen safety,” but defaulting everyone into a 13–17 bucket unless they hand over an ID or face scan is wild but expected behavior by Discord. That’s not safety by design, that’s verification by coercion. It fits perfectly with the broader trend we’ve been watching for a while now, age gating, digital ID, and forced identity checks, all wrapped in the same “think of the children” packaging. If this were actually about safety, Discord would focus on moderation tools, reporting workflows, and server-level controls, not mass identity verification tied to biometric data. What really bothers me is how normalized this is becoming. Platforms keep inching the line forward, and users are expected to just accept it because “that’s the way it is now.” It doesn’t have to be. If people don’t push back, stop using the platform, or move to alternatives, this becomes the blueprint for everything else online. Privacy and anonymity don’t disappear overnight, they get chipped away one “reasonable” policy at a time. Not to mention the multiple massive data breaches that Discord has experienced over the past several months and I'm just expected to trust their verification system blindly with my data, yeah not happening. This is one of those moments where people should actually stop, think, and decide whether convenience is worth giving up control over who you are online.

@discord_support Do not trust Discord with any biometric data

Discord will soon be expanding teen safety protections worldwide including teen-by-default settings and age assurance designed to create safer experiences for teens. We’re also launching recruitment for Discord's first Teen Council, creating a space for teen voices to help shape our safety and wellbeing work. Applications are now open for US teens ages 13–17.

To prove I'm not blowing hot air- I take this shit seriously in the current climate of *motions wildly* @discord:

Guess I'm glad I uninstalled it on some devices then. Time to remove it from the rest. I was an early adopter (since the very beginning, coming from FFXI & Guildwork/FFXIAH) & a long-term Nitro subscriber. Guess I'm saving myself some money going forward now. @discord 🖕😑🖕

“They’re going to make Baldur’s Gate 3 woke” Brother, have I got news for you.

Well, generosity is always a noble virtue - whether it be in the streets, at the charity box, or betwixt the sheets. Besides, given my propensity towards verbosity, it surely can't be a surprise that I have a practised tongue.

This one

@LadySapphyre The juxtaposition 🤌

I’m not a big believer in fate, but I do believe in serendipity. Life is a tempest of events that sometimes we brace against and sometimes embrace. You’re one such event that one day soon perhaps I’d like to embrace.

Our ambition for what comes next is greater than ever before, and we’re so excited to be with you on what’s going to be one hell of a ride.

@BrendanCarrFCC This aged like milk.

President Biden is right. Political satire is one of the oldest and most important forms of free speech. It challenges those in power while using humor to draw more people in to the discussion. That’s why people in influential positions have always targeted it for censorship.
