Discord is conducting an experimental age verification process targeting users in the UK and Australia to comply with local laws that safeguard children from adult content. The verification is required for users who haven't previously provided age confirmation and is triggered when accessing flagged explicit content or changing content filter settings. Users can either scan their face or upload ID photos. The trial reflects Discord's attempt to adhere to stringent regulations like the UK's Online Safety Act, raising concerns about trust in the scanning technology's accuracy.
Discord's new age verification experiment aims to comply with laws in the UK and Australia, requiring users to verify age for accessing adult content.
