It says information used for age checks will not be stored by Discord or the verification company.

Bullshit. Every time some bitch-ass company says this, 4-5 years later they're like "we were hacked, someone took everyone's photo IDs!"

"And we were hacked because we don't care about security because there's zero accountability, see you at the next hack!"
