Update from Discord

On Tuesday, Discord released an update clarifying that the vast majority of people can continue using Discord exactly as they do today, without needing to use a face scan or ID to verify their age. Discord states in the post that “age prediction” using information the platform already has will likely be sufficient for many users.

“We’ve seen some questions about our age assurance update and we want to share more clarity. We know how important these changes are to our community.”

Key points

• Discord is not requiring everyone to complete a face scan or upload an ID.
• The new system will rely on age prediction based on existing user data for most accounts.
• Only a small subset of users may be asked for additional verification if the prediction is uncertain.
