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.

    I ain’t here cause I know something wrong

    I’m here cause reddit doesn’t have a good app

    And they used to, didn’t they? Can you remember what happened to those apps, and why? That’s right, they stopped working, because Reddit closed off their API, which can’t happen here.

    So I guess you are here because you know that something is wrong with reddit, after all. You said so yourself.
