The problem is that age-gating is mechanically impossible to do without surveillance.
And in so many countries online speech tied to your identity is a prison sentence.

It's not age-gated. This applies even if there are numerous ways to prove your age without turning over ID.
It's compliance-gated, and not comparable to basic safety measures because the harm being done isn't quantifiable, whereas tech companies using violation of privacy to harm users is common.

cancelling nitro's all cool (i did it too) but don't forget that this age verification requirement is pushed by "think of the children!!" govt regulations slowly creeping into more and more countries. alas it seems to be inevitable that in a decade every big online service is going to be age-gated.
Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

as far as app genres go, chat apps are easily the most commoditized. like does discord think they have the "program where people type at each other" market *that* on lock? cancel your nitro subscription and let's find out together

Like, I'm of two minds about the Discord thing:
1) I shouldn't have to verify that I'm a grown adult when I've had a Discord account since before the Pandemic and have had Nitro for years.
2) Hot take incoming: having kids on Discord has been a travesty and the answer can't be "do nothing".

Nitro is also their main source of funding btw.

this is literally going to strongarm every queer user into giving info after they declared every single lgbtq+ server to be "adult servers" years ago.
so now it's literally give us your info or lose access to your communities and resources.
fuck you discord.

EXCELLENT! I have lost track of all the names his mercenary company has been - after Blackwater it was Xe and then Academi and now Constellis. I would LOVE to see him held accountable. Wonder if he's in the Epstein files?

"having issues processing it" aka them deliberately pulling the plug on cancellations on the backend + blaming a glitch until the backlash hopefully blows over
would be illegal if provable, which it's not. but it just-so-happens to happen every time in these situations (recall when Disney+ did it?)
