Best compliment my team has gotten so far on our video work:

"It made me cry a little"

Omg

Any time a company has to "make a statement", it means they're sweating. Cook them

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)
Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults. Hey folks – I’ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so today’s announcement on our blog is something I’ve been pretty involved with. I’ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured I’d add some more context to today's news. I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults. And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.) Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence. Anyway, we’ll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what we’re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details. And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. We’re definitely reading it!

Still doesn't identify who their partners are for the verification so we can't even see that companies track record

I'm having to run into it in public spaces a lot. I see it from 3 diff career fields I was in so i accidentally became the "IS THIS AI?" person to my friends. Did not expect to see a genAI pic of .... "kids" sewing at the local sewing shop of all places though

Kinda Fucked Up that in our lifetimes we've gone from "never share personal info on the internet" to "hand over your identity to the most incompetent corporations imaginable".

If I gotta ask everyone I encounter "At what level of AI do you use for transparency purposes" I will scream

Update: I read the discord thing when I woke up. So if it does face verification, the paper bit won't work. But it will work for other organizations that don't use facial recognition bc there's no rule saying you can't. Future reminder

Hey sooo.. has anyone even *asked* discord *who* these "trusted, privacy-forward partners" are that they're working with?

I'm looking for names in their official pages and seeing nooothing

This also isn't to support discords sudden decision to request ID (which, complain about!!! EMAIL THEM). But we also have very little tools to protect ourselves against this in general

Lrt: for future ref if ANYONE asks for your gov id, WRITE ON A PIECE OF PAPER w the ID in frame

"Photo taken for (WEBSITE) on (DATE OF PHOTO)"

You can cover your face too. If there's a leak, the leak can be tracked to them/that website. NO website can guarantee your privacy

This super helps a lot tho, I'm going to try an anatomy mindset instead bc my current one is just "ew blocks. Turn off." Literally anything else to be more interested in the male form will help me 😭😭 appreciate you!!!!

omg this is so funny bc I just linked a friend to one of his videos except it was on the coil technique LOL

Thank you!!!! I took anatomy years ago but yeah, I've been brushing up on that too when I do my gesture practices. I've been so out of it that I've gone back to basics 😭
