"Don't worry, we've already collected enough data on you to verify your age :)" is not the comforting statement they want it to be.

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults.

Hey folks –

I’ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so today’s announcement on our blog is something I’ve been pretty involved with. I’ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured I’d add some more context to today's news.

I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults.

And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.)

Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence.

Anyway, we’ll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what we’re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details.

And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. We’re definitely reading it!

Thought I'd share my end of the year book haul here too 🥹 I hope to read more in 2025 #tbr #readinglist

5 books spread out. On top of "To Kill A Shadow" and "To Shatter The Night" by Katherine Quinn. Both of these books are hard covers. On the bottom are 3 paper back books: "An Enchantment Of Ravens" by Margaret Rogerson, "Vespertine" by Margaret Rogerson, and "Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia Of Faeries" by Heather Fawcett. Both books my Margaret Rogerson appear a little worn and bent because they were bought used.

Please do not attack people who are forced to take part in a shitty system. Most artists do their damnest to make ethical choices but they are just trying to live and it’s already very hard to do. Look at the choices you make first before you judge others for trying to make a living.

I've told this story before on the bird site, but I'll share it here. Ask local candidates for office if they have a library card. In a past job, none of them had library cards, and consequently, and unsurprisingly, kept trying to cut library funding. Ask. Ask if they use the library at all.

Hi I'm new to here. Same handle on Twitter. I like to crochet, here are some things I've made 🥹 I'm still very much very early intermediate stage, but currently working on a blanket and possibly starting another! #mycrocheting #amigurumi #crochet

A green junimo pouch crocheted next to a black (void junimo) pouch holding a few amigurumi items.

Amigurumi projects: A rainbow dinosaur, a pastel rainbow dinosaur, a rainbow bunny from Woobles, blue penguin from Woobles, a pickle, a snowy owl from Woobles, yellow chicken from Woobles, rainbow chick from Woobles, mini rainbow bunny from Woobles, and a purple catnip mouse toy for xats.

A black crocheted junimo pouch. The eyes and drawstring are red. Currently, the pouch is empty, so it lies flat.
