I will be leaving discord before I do this but as someone in their 40s who was mistaken for an undergrad twice last week, i don’t really trust a facial recognition’s ability to judge my age
Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month - all accounts set to "teen-appropriate experience" by default www.theverge.com/tech/875309/...
