Text: However, some users may not have to go through either form of age verification. Discord is also rolling out an age inference model that analyzes metadata like the types of games a user plays, their activity on Discord, and behavioral signals like signs of working hours or the amount of time they spend on Discord.
“If we have a high confidence that they are an adult, they will not have to go through the other age verification flows,” Badalich says. “A majority of people are not going to see a change in their experience.”
She goes on to explain that the addition of age assurance will mainly impact adult content: “A majority of people on Discord are not necessarily looking at explicit or graphic content. When we say that, we’re really talking about things that are truly adult content [and] age inappropriate for a teen. So, the way that it will work is a majority of people are not going to see a change in their experience."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:caeehquj4hpxzwjvalxgdv6z/bafkreigorpkp7qxrellxoowzhqoc7stlnouychlie3kvephf6oqh4wohvy)
