- 0x1ch 7mo agoWorked for me as well. Hopefully my account of 11+ years isn't penalized because of this. Not like it matters because I'll quit anyways if forced to send my face or ID.
- dark-star 7mo agoYou probably won't even have to validate then. I guess they can safely assume that you didn't create your account when you were 7 years or younger. They said they expect 80% of users or so to be auto-verified by some other means (account age, typing statistics, whatever)
- Retr0id 7mo agoMy account is almost a decade old and discord is still asking me to complete age verification.
- poly2it 7mo agoAre they rolling this out in stages? I haven't been asked to prove the age of my account.
- Retr0id 7mo agoI'm in the UK (where the law allows them to use heuristics).
- rationalist 7mo agoSo VPN to the UK?
- Retr0id 7mo agoWhat?
- rationalist 7mo agoLots of websites assume you are located in the country where your IP address is, and thus apply the rules for that country. So perhaps if someone wanted to use heuristics instead of uploading an ID, they could pretend to be in the UK by using a VPN.
- Retr0id 7mo agoLegislatively, the UK is among the stricter regimes wrt online age verification. It's a place you want to be VPNing out of. Discord is apparently rolling this out worldwide out of their own free will, not due to legislative pressures.
- FMecha 7mo ago>not due to legislative pressures It's a pre-emptive move against any (potential) legislative pressures.
- dark-star 7mo agomaybe it's different per country shrug
- varun_ch 7mo agoUnfortunately I wouldn’t be so sure that there aren’t any 7 year old Discord users
- LadyCailin 7mo ago7 year olds with a credit card?
- dark-star 7mo agoto be fair, you don't need a credit card to create a Discord account. And yes, I don't think there are ZERO seven-year-olds on Discord. I just think the number is pretty dang small
- 0x1ch 7mo agoWonderful. Hopefully I'm not retroactively banned for things I said when I was fourteen on servers long gone.
- kattagarian 7mo agoi changed the password later just to be sure.
- hypercube33 7mo agoThis isn't as fun as using the g-man from half life to verify
