Including mine. Nice job Discord! Thanks for the fake age ban...this was their plan, wasn't it?

Who exactly was required to submit age verification photos? Just US citizens?

Just the UK, as far as I'm able to find. Some US users have to verify by clicking the box, but I do not believe they've been en-masse required to upload ID or use the UK's facial recognition nonsense.

From the discord age verification FAQ:

The age verification features described in this article are fully available only to users in the United Kingdom and apply to all new and existing UK accounts.
