"Users who aren't verified as adults will not be able to access age-restricted servers and channels, won't be able to speak in Discord's livestream-like "stage" channels, and will see content filters for any content Discord detects as graphic or sensitive. They will also get warning prompts for friend requests from potentially unfamiliar users, and DMs from unfamiliar users will be automatically filtered into a separate inbox."
"Discord announced on Monday that it's rolling out age verification on its platform globally starting next month, when it will automatically set all users' accounts to a "teen-appropriate" experience unless they demonstrate that they're adults."
"Direct messages and servers that are not age-restricted will continue to function normally, but users won't be able to send messages or view content in an age-restricted server until they complete the age check process, even if it's a server they were part of before age verification rolled out."
Beginning in March, all Discord accounts will default to a teen-appropriate experience unless users verify that they are adults. Unverified users will be blocked from accessing age-restricted servers and channels, prevented from speaking in "stage" channels, and shown content filters for graphic or sensitive material. Friend requests and DMs from unfamiliar users will trigger warnings or be routed to a separate inbox. Unverified accounts will see age-restricted servers obfuscated with a black screen and cannot join new age-restricted servers until completing an age check. The change aligns with international legal pushes for age checks and stronger child safety measures.
