If I am required to do this, I am purging my Discord account immediately. I am not giving them face scans.

I needed my face, ID, and username to get unbanned (disco was convinced I'm underage)

Guys, calm down, it doesn't use YOUR face at all. Just a photo. Easy to bypass, and think of the fun we can have.

huh...sounds like an invasion of privacy.

good thing I never used discord because of the toxicity and pedophiles.

nothing gained, nothing lost.

Eh, we used it as an office chat until my boss set up Slack, and then kept using it when we played games after work. It was okay.

I never joined any public channels though, only the handful of ones with various gaming friends. They have since moved on with life, so I uninstalled Discord.

Discord has always been an invasion of privacy. They require a phone number for ages
