Discord is conducting trials of a new age-verification policy in the UK and Australia to help filter harmful content for younger users. The process involves users verifying their age through either a face scan or by scanning an ID card. The information from these methods is not stored, addressing privacy concerns. If classified as underage, users face an automatic ban but can appeal. The trial does not currently have a set timeline for when the policy might be rolled out globally.
Discord's new age-verification policy aims to protect younger users from harmful content by verifying ages before granting access to sensitive material.
To verify their age, users can opt for a face scan or scan an ID card, and this data will not be stored by Discord.
Once verified, users remain in their age category until they choose to re-verify, keeping the process simple and transparent.
If a user is classified as underage, they will automatically be banned and can appeal through Discord's underage appeals process.
