The answer to this should be 'don't care' and to keep hammering them until they cease this shit entirely.
Discord has posted updated clarification:
-Discord is not requiring everyone to complete a face scan or upload an ID to use Discord
-The vast majority of people can continue using Discord exactly as they do today, without ever being asked to confirm their age

Discord posted an update abt their age verification - I feel the need to inform people that all of these things were already true last year when they had that data breach that exposed people's IDs. Bad actors got into a customer support account that had access to tickets with people's IDs in them.

While this absolutely sucks, we are going to see a lot more places implementing universal global age verification over this next year, because the number of states and countries legally requiring it has gotten to the point no one can keep up anymore.
Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

“We can pre-identify adults based on what we already know” is not the comforting statement they think it is.
Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

Yes, cancel your nitro but also please understand that the ID laws in states are largely giving corporations a lot of "excuses" to do this stuff and you gotta take it up with your state reps. Call them and tell them ID laws are awful and hurt people.

i'd also like to directly confront the idea that, well, for "some reason", things that used to be forums, wikis, websites ended up on discord.
it's not a mystery. running a website, wiki, whatever, is hard. maintaining a community is hard. getting people to engage with things is hard.

It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?

If you care more about a fictional character(s) than an in real life person, then there’s something really wrong with you and I hope you seek out help.
You must be very privileged to not give a damn about what’s going on in our world today.

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it
Just because good news is worth celebrating:
There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.
HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?
