Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults. Hey folks β Iβve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so todayβs announcement on our blog is something Iβve been pretty involved with. Iβve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured Iβd add some more context to today's news. I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults.
And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.) Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence. Anyway, weβll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what weβre launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details. And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. Weβre definitely reading it!
Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)
The idea that everybody on the planet must forever be beholden to the default of babysitter of other peopleβs children except for their actual fucking parents, and as a result any attempt to opt of non-consensual babysitting must include getting my identity stolen, is an idea that must fucking die.
Hey we need groceries so if you send 50 dollars to my spouseβs PayPal Iβll draw you a full body flat colored piece. Taking 2 slots bc I have some other owed work and I donβt wanna get overwhelmed.

JK Rowling pledges to keep up fight against SNP trans policies Author vows to bankroll campaigners after Scottish government fails to pay group's legal fees in Supreme Court equality case
It cannot be made clearer.
If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.
This is CRITICAL. I know youβre all putting your back into mutual aid & a thousand other great things, but if thereβs anything left here, so many folks depend on these front-line lawyers right now.

Drop Fortnite and hold your fav streamers accountable for still playing and posting about it.
I'm so serious I'm blocking anyone I see still stream and talk positively about it.
Disco Elysium - The Final Cut is free on Internet Archive for the foreseeable future.
This is a great game, you will get and play this game. You will, it's been added to your cart already.
Definitely... It's a major flaw in the game's writing that they always tell and rarely show so even if they aren't trying to make Flare out to be good guys, it can sure feel that way. I look forward to seeing your fangame by the way! Love your thoughts on the SV characters!
Is this in reference to Grisham and Grisele ? Because I thought the game made a point that they never actually did anything for flare and don't agree with the nuking France thing

A collaboration artwork by Soulsilvers and Cuteskitty featuring Red, Green Oak and their Eevee and Pikachu from Pokemon visiting Kalos. Red and Pikachu, drawn by Soulsilvers, are posing for a picture, with Red making a heart with his hands and Pikachu making a peace sign. Green and Eevee were drawn by Cuteskitty, with a smiling Green taking a picture of Red while Eevee is on Red's shoulder. The two are on a rooftop surrounded by plants (painted by Soulsilvers), with a view to Lumiose City and the Prism Tower (painted by Cuteskitty).
