In compliance with the UK's controversial Online Safety Act, Discord now requires age verification before allowing you to access flagged adult content. That process involves either scanning your face or an ID document, and as you might imagine, there are some privacy concerns from around doing a face scan to access the sorts of materials an adult Discord user might be interested in. Luckily, Death Stranding 2 protagonist and human truck Sam Porter Bridges is here to help.
Discord now works with an age verification company called k-ID, asking users to either scan their face or their ID in order to access adult content. While Discord assures users that ID documents are swiftly deleted from third-party servers and "the video selfie used for facial age estimation never even leaves your device," there are still privacy conscious users who'd prefer not to take any risks.
