Discord delay global rollout of age verification to improve transparency and add more options
Discord is delaying the global rollout of its age verification system to improve transparency and offer more user options. The company acknowledges a failure in clearly explaining the process and intends to add more verification methods, such as credit card verification, and enhance vendor transparency before proceeding. For regions where age checks are legally mandated, such as the UK and Australia, current rules will remain in place.
Discord announces age verification will be required for all users from March
Discord announced it would implement age verification for all users starting March, with accounts unable to prove their age facing a limited experience. Following backlash, the company clarified that most adults will not require manual verification as age will be inferred from account data. The verification process may involve facial age estimation or submitting documents to third-party partners.
