Electronic Frontier Foundation @eff.org · 24/09/2026“While estimating age based on user behavior is less invasive than requiring users to upload photos, credit card information or a state-issued ID, age-gating the internet creates dangerous new forms of surveillance, censorship, and exclusion,” EFF’s @davidgreene.bsky.social told @cnet.com.cnet.comDiscord Introduces Alternative Age Verification Tools After Pushback - CNETTeenage users have options, but some appear safer than others.

That Guy Aku @lordtekno.bsky.social · 24/09/2026↪ Replying to @eff.orgIf anyone not following the story is asking why? The answer is "cause we want to promote gambling " 0161
MissingNo👾 @moonlitmartyr.bsky.social · 24/09/2026↪ Replying to @eff.orgStill a no, I'll stick with Matrix and Simplex Chat for groups. 010
David Sullivan @davidsullivan.bsky.social · 24/09/2026↪ Replying to @eff.org@davidgreene.bsky.social relatedly, did you see that UK Ofcom is taking aim at companies using age inference? they are claiming it is not "highly effective" 101
Explorer Rowan @explorerrowan.northsky.social · 24/09/2026↪ Replying to @eff.orgAlso, the speed at which @discord.com started launching disgusting FanDuel gambling ads at adult users shows that it was ALWAYS about skimming an extra buck, and NEVER about "child safety." 020

Metro’s ZEITGEIST Waste Bin @metrothefox.bsky.social · 24/09/2026↪ Replying to @eff.orgDiscord could also, I don't know, not sniff around for how mature everyone’s genitals are 020
Pancake @prison-pocket.bsky.social · 25/09/2026↪ Replying to @eff.orgI don't understand how Discord is even a thing anyway. IRC was fine. 010
AMP the MADFOX @ampthemadfox.bsky.social · 25/09/2026↪ Replying to @eff.orgStill, I do not approve that they forced this out. Because of the UK, Ofcom, and even other Governments trying to push for Age Verification, forcing "child safety" laws when in reality is surveillance and ID Doxxing. I'm very disappointed in Discord for complying to this, and should've oppose them! 010
