The boner is for something else, since they can’t stop talking about the “children”.

I think is is related to the new age verification systems. Everyone was saying this is a bad idea but governments are basically making it required for some of these services.

The UK - along with several US states - is enforcing a bunch of age verification bullshit to “protect the children.” Not that the tech companies have pushed back on this in the slightest; they love that it let’s them collect more data on users. But they couldn’t get away with it if it wasn’t a legal requirement.
From Discord’s age verification page, under “Privacy and Data Security”:
Q: Is my data stored when I use Face Scan or Scan ID verification?
A: Discord and k-ID do not permanently store personal identity documents or your video selfies. The image of your identity document and the ID face match selfie are deleted directly after your age group is confirmed, and the video selfie used for facial age estimation never leaves your device.
It always was and it will always be. Data is the real commodity and Discord had no intention of wasting it when they could profit from it. This applies to ALL “free” products offered by corporations. You are and have always been the product.

I wonder if they could face legal consequences for this
Companies suffer no consequences and nobody goes to jail for destroying real people’s lifes. It’s how businesses work. Do it and apologize later motto or something like that. At best some small fine.

Wow really? The thing that everyone was warning the dumbass tech-illiterate politicians who pushed this bullshit law through would happen, happened? Wow I am just so incredibly shocked, who could have foreseen this coming, apart from everyone?

What pisses me off the most is that people can get life-long troubles from leaks like these. Identity theft, scams, etc. Yet these fuckers only say “we sorry” and that’s it.
I just now dug up my discord account and nuked it. They won’t see me using their shit again. Thankfully I’ve not given them any ID or data.

They lied then
They said they weren’t saving the pics, deleting them when verification was done.
I wish there was a Discord alternative

Revolt is an option. But it needs people and communities.

I don’t use Discord very much. Why do they have ID photos?
Age verification. Why? Because some politicians have a boner for control.
The boner is for something else, since they can’t stop talking about the “children”.

They bought into the "age verification" scam.

is this not from the stolen support tickets? some of which were related to id verification? 70k users is a very low number for discord.
Well that doesn’t seem very secure. It’s almost like this is more about liability and regulation rather than actual security.

Is revolt an online platform or a general instruction?
