Starting in early March, the platform will place every account into a default "teen-appropriate" experience unless it has proof that users are adults.

The move has brought widespread criticism from Discord users, who are citing privacy and security concerns following a recent breach of a third-party vendor that ended up exposing around 70,000 government ID images used to verify the age of Discord users.

I would unironically sooner become an actual hermit and never socialize again than give these cretins my ID or even trust that they'll delete an age verification photo. Knowing Discord? yeah, no, absolutely fucking not
