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

I needed my face, ID, and username to get unbanned (disco was convinced I'm underage)

Guys, calm down, it doesn't use YOUR face at all. Just a photo. Easy to bypass, and think of the fun we can have.

huh...sounds like an invasion of privacy.

good thing I never used discord because of the toxicity and pedophiles.

nothing gained, nothing lost.

Discord has always been an invasion of privacy. They require a phone number for ages

This is what it takes for you to finally leave discord? I would guess most people that have managed to stick around discord this long won't even mind this.

What would be the alternative for discord?

This is significantly worse than anything they've done

I don't use the platform, why is Discord so terrible?
