"On February 9, Discord announced that as part of its "long-standing commitment to creating a safer" experience for teens, all Discord users worldwide will be shifted to a "teen-appropriate experience" by default. This change will happen in early march and once fully rolled out, it means users who can't prove they are adults will lose access to a number of features and parts of Discord."
"To prove you are an adult, Discord is going to make you either upload an image of a legal ID or share a video selfie to verify age. Discord promises that all legal documents will be deleted "in most cases" immediately after the user's age is verified and claims all selfies will never leave the user's device. It does warn that some users might need to submit multiple pieces of information to prove their age,"
Discord will shift all accounts worldwide to a teen-appropriate default in early March, restricting features for users who cannot verify adulthood. Age verification options will include uploading a legal ID image or submitting a video selfie. Discord states that legal documents will be deleted "in most cases" after verification and that selfies will remain on the user's device. Some users may need to provide multiple pieces of information, and a dispute process will exist for incorrect age assignments. A background age inference model will run to help identify adult accounts without always requiring explicit verification. Several features, including unblurring sensitive content and access to age-restricted spaces and commands, will be gated to age-assured adults.
