If I am required to do this, I am purging my Discord account immediately. I am not giving them face scans.

As someone who looks significantly younger than they are, I'm curious as to how this will work.

Hmmm. So how long before another AI is able to generate a good enough face to fool the age verification AI (or can it already)? Interesting three-legged race there.

AI models have been able to for a long time.

Edit: keep in mind this is many years old now, which is ancient in the AI world.

This was a wtf moment for me. Even though Discord’s privacy isn’t the best, and even though it’s proprietary, Discord has been seemingly loyal to its user base, even doing cool stuff like offering a Linux version of the app. However, if this becomes mandatory, I will promptly leave, I am horrified that they have fallen this low.

If by linux version you mean completely broken electron web app I suppose youre right

Welp. As soon as this gets put in place I'm out

Oh shit, I gotta finish looking for that bot that will copy my discord channels and their content (pictures, links) to my matrix

Does anybody have any suggestions for alternatives for chats?

I use it a lot for classes (students use them) and video games.

I don’t see reporting on this from any reputable sources. If this were true, every major blog covering tech and gaming would be all over it. All I can find is random YouTube channels and nobody websites discussing it.

I’m not gonna pay it any attention until there’s reliable evidence they’re actually planning on doing this.
