Quelle surprise

Including mine. Nice job Discord! Thanks for the fake age ban...this was their plan, wasn't it?

Who exactly was required to submit age verification photos? Just US citizens?

[–] Kirp123@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

UK ones too.

Just the UK, as far as I'm able to find. Some US users have to verify by clicking the box, but I do not believe they've been en-masse required to upload ID or use the UK's facial recognition nonsense.

From the discord age verification FAQ:

The age verification features described in this article are fully available only to users in the United Kingdom and apply to all new and existing UK accounts.

Well, now I feel better about using a throwaway email when I made my account.

[–] shads@lemy.lol 9 points 4 days ago

Throw away email! Are you going something illegal online that you would want to bypass the government and big techs absolute right to spy on everything you do! That's it people will henceforth only get one single email address assigned at birth that they will be forced to use for all online interactions henceforth. I hope you feel ashamed of yourself with all the children you put at risk with your thoughtless selfish behaviour. Now upload an image of your face certified by a government official and a copy of your birth certificate just to be sure that ~~terrorists~~, uh ~~criminals~~, uh child abusers don't win.

*Please tell me this is the most superfluous /s of all time. *
