it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

Discord says hackers stole government IDs of 70,000 users
As more sites require IDs for user age verification, expect more such breaches to come.

Discord is switching to teen-by-default settings next month, with face scanning or ID upload required for full access.
Unrelated - this past October, Discord suffered a data breach where 70,000 government IDs and info was stolen.

This HAS to violate GDPR, right. Using our data in ways we did not consent to, to classify us based on political ideology, sexuality, etc? This kind of thing needs to be exclusively opt-in. As it stands, it doesn't even have a proper opt-out without making your account invisible to logged-out users.
I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself!
bluesky-map.theo.io
I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

Should be done by logging in via my gov profile. Let me login via Trusted Profile or whatever other alternative countries have, have it return back ONLY "they're over 18" or not, flag it on my profile and we're golden.
The goal is data harvesting, always has been. This WILL lead to data leaks. Ew.

Starting in March, Discord will shift to a Teen-by-Default experience.
That means all adult users will be required to complete age verification (video selfie or a scan of a government-issued ID) to unlock full access.

my mom wants me to ask you for flower commissions for $15 each (even one would make her so happy). you’ll get a scanned in digital version of a painting. She’ll be doing watercolors. If you want her flower art, all you have to do is drop a reference photo of a flower that you like in the comments.
