The age verification company Discord uses for age verification-Persona-has a service where they tie your selfie to your ID and financial records to provide to ICE and other U.S. Gov agencies.

How do I know?

Persona exposed a server to the Internet and some enterprising person looked inside!
I am even more alarmed by the Discord "Age Verification" push than I originally was.

Running some program on your computer to do some age verification crap? Or uploading your ID to an "age verification" company that links it to a bunch of other identification on you?

Don't like the age verification that Discord announced? Looking for a Discord alternative? I sure have been! I've gone ahead and put together a list of alternatives and their fitness for use in communities big and small.

I made a @fluxer.app server today. Seems very promising. Once the mobile app is pushed out and the documentation is better, this seems like a no-brainier.

Take that money and throw it toward alternative platforms you'd like to see succeed! Like @fluxer.app!

There is work being done to get voice rooms (including screen share) implemented in Cinny and once that is done, I feel like it meets the bare minimum needed to be a discord replacement.

@furality.org's decision to require government-ID age verification is appalling to me. One would expect the worlds largest virtual furcon to understand that its success and community is build upon the free and open internet that many have fought to protect and grow. I was wrong.

This is deeply disappointing. I'm all for making sure an event like furality is well moderated and well curated

But the last thing I want to do in this current climate is link my government ID to VRChat so some third party can store and sell that info

I am heavily reconsidering attending this year

Well, there goes any chance of me ever attending Furality. As someone who cares about my online privacy, I refuse to hand over my government ID to some sketchy company to come to an event for a game. Needing an ID to get into an IRL bar is understandable, but an in game event? Thats just stupid.

Idk who needs to hear this, I'm dropping my role as Furality World Team Lead.

It's been a blast, but I can't stand the thought of those I love not being able to attend.

Hopefully the powers that be let Furality walk this back one day. I will jump at the opportunity to be back.

Considering that Persona, VRChat's partner in age-verification, is A) legally questionable and B) doesn't even work with VRChat, I likely won't be attending Furality for the forseeable future. Not until VRChat finds a better way to do age verification, anyhow.

I'm resigning from my position as Club Video Producer at #Furality until current age-verification options are expanded.

Age-verification is smart, but I'm not comfortable with the methods used by VRChat & Persona.

Much love to all team members & DJs I've worked with.
Love you all. <3
