Hmm, I don't recall ever doing age verification for Discord. Were older accounts grandfather'd in, or is it currently limited by region or something?

I believe people from ~~EU~~ UK and people who say they were under 13 and got reported. They needed to send in a pic of them holding their ID to get unbanned.

edit: UK people not EU

You're much too young for the Internet. Please submit your SSN and parents' credit card information.

Am from EU. Two accounts, but no ID confirmation required for either.

[–] seraphine@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 days ago

From EU, got nothing

[–] Electricd@lemmybefree.net 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well, did you get reported and did you ever say you were under 13?

[–] schnokobaer@feddit.org 1 points 2 days ago

I don't know and I don't remember. I was replying to the 'people from the EU' bit, as it does not seem correct to me.
