Discord slammed over age verification face scan controversy
www.newsweek.com
Discord users are unhappy with the platform's decision to roll out age verification requirements for adult user accounts starting in March.

Starting in early March, the platform will place every account into a default “teen-appropriate” experience unless it has proof that users are adults.

The move has brought widespread criticism from Discord users, who are citing privacy and security concerns following a recent breach of a third-party vendor that ended up exposing around 70,000 government ID images used to verify the age of Discord users.

    What he wants are just OS level parental controls. If enabled the OS tells apps that the user is underage. Like the only info is:

    underage: true/false

      Don’t we already have this?

      I have personally set it up. Works great for Google and Apple. The Amazon equivalent is shite - literally had to generate e-waste to get better control.
