"If you're an adult, removing these restrictions will require one of two verification methods at launch. You can take a selfie video for age estimation or submit a government ID to Discord's vendor partners. (Let's just hope the age estimations work better than Roblox's.) The company stresses that the video selfies you submit for age estimation never leave your device. And it claims ID documents sent to its vendor partners are deleted quickly, "in most cases, immediately after age confirmation.""
"Starting in March, all users will have a "teen-appropriate experience" by default. Unlocking adult content and age-gated spaces will require a (usually one-time) verification process. The platform's big safety update encompasses communication settings, restricted access to age-gated spaces and content filtering. Users who aren't verified as adults will see blurred sensitive content. In addition, age-restricted channels, servers and app commands will be blocked. DMs and friend requests from unknown users will be routed to a separate inbox."
Starting in March, Discord will default all users to a teen-appropriate experience, blurring sensitive content for unverified users. Adults can unlock adult content and age-gated spaces via a usually one-time verification: a selfie video for age estimation or government ID submission to vendor partners. The company states that selfie videos never leave the device and that ID documents are deleted quickly, usually immediately after age confirmation. Age-restricted channels, servers, and app commands will be blocked for unverified users, and DMs and friend requests from unknown users will be routed to a separate inbox. Additional verification options, including a background age inference model, are planned, and a Teen Council is being recruited.
