Discord is making a huge change that will enact age restrictions for all accounts until users verify their age with ID or face scans.

    I wonder if they’ll take into account that, had I signed up at (the youngest possible age of) 13, the age of my account would then make me 21. I suppose they can’t really sell that inferred data…

      The article says they may check metadata to verify users as well, so as far as I can tell, they will take that into account.

        Did they edit the article or am I maybe just blind? I don’t see metadata being mentioned anywhere in the article or in the original Discord announcement. I even did a ctrl+f on meta, and nothing came up.

          Oh dang no this article didn’t, the one from the Verge mentioned it: https://www.theverge.com/tech/875309/discord-age-verification-global-roll-out

          Sorry I read 2-3 articles about this and mixed up which ones mentioned what.

            Ah, thanks a lot for the link! I appreciate it. They really should put that information into their official announcement as well.
