I dont use discord for porn, and any images I post for my game are SFW because discord are already bitches about that shit , so aside from supporters and followers, it may not even affect my day to day.

Without a doubt, ID verification should be a line in the sand for everyone.

 

[imYuna!]

I only use discord to DM a couple friends :3 It would just be such a hassle and they've already leaked peoples info in the recent past :c

Oh, i wont show them shit. ill be a default "teen" user, but those permissions or whatever wont afect my day to day it seems.

however i reserve the right to change my mind when it happens.

Anything that implements ID verification when there is no real reason to is a big no no for me

 

[Twigless Leaf]

Stopped using discord back in october. Nothing of worth, except my meme dump was lost.

 

[MattShizzle]

Yep. Not giving them my ID. Also - don't have a scanner and with my hand tremors can't take a clear picture.

Depends on how it's impemented. If it's a check box saying "I'm 18 or older", then I'll probably keep using it. If they want a photo of a government ID, then I'll either stop using it or move forward with a "teen" account. My line is at some as of yet determined point in the sand.

i think the going thing is it will require you to scan your face to prove your age, or you will be a teen.

If it's just your face and no identifying info, I might be okay with that. Need to think through what it implies and how it can go sideways.

Teen my ASS!! I'll fight them bastards right up to the time they chock the wheels on my walker.

 

[bulliedhealer]

They do NOT need anymore info than they already have.

 

[Nerisylie]

I doubt they’ll do something as stupid as making age verification a requirement even for sfw servers so it doesn’t affect me at all

THis does not matter everyone needs to be fucking slapped its not porn but NSFW content with credit cards that included gore and with discord there TOS right now is putting those flags on mature games i seen people without it then bam there Baldures gate 3 group has it even the ones that talk about LGQBT swuff all NSFW now.

That term is always open to interpretation that is decided buy the company.

Thanks for not even mentioning i put up this information a week ago atleast and not even putting it on the first part to actually explain its more than fucking id's.


They have admitted to use all public none PM data to track you make sure your a adult at the same time partnering with people that were on the island and now plantier

I do not care yesterday they back tracked on some of this its the fucking fact even without a govt id there watching you and no doubt the governments of the world will use it against you in a court of law.

Just like how people get fired/hired based on social media like facebook discord is next you get fired because you are on a anti playstation board or a board that is connected to a site like this.

Without a doubt, ID verification should be a line in the sand for everyone.

It is vert supported actually people in 2 countries has this happen recently never stopped them from scaning then going on there day.

Yep. Not giving them my ID. Also - don't have a scanner and with my hand tremors can't take a clear picture.

It is through the phone app you scan it like how some bank app's scan a check for deposit but some place overseas you can just link a govt account.

It depends if the already know you are a adult i already had this information on here but they have been watching you putting your info in a AI program if it says you are a adult nothing will change.

I doubt they’ll do something as stupid as making age verification a requirement even for sfw servers so it doesn’t affect me at all

Go 2 tos discussion boards they have changed and will no doubt keep changing what is SFW to protect the kids IMGUR overseas just pulled out because of how far NSFW was becoming.

Post in thread 'Discord global crackdown on NSFW groups you need a face id scan to access anything adult related'

Feb 9, 2026

Didn't they announce that they going to do this a couple of months ago?

This will probably only cause people to not declare their servers as NSFW.
Which is pretty much the opposite of "protecting minors".

Also, I assume this is to not get banned in countries that require a proper age-check, like the UK.

Yes uk australia did this it was a huge failure

I don't trust Discord enough to give them my ID.
