Discord delays controversial age verification rollout, saying it "missed the mark" following community outcry

Discord is delaying its controversial age verification rollout after significant community backlash, with co-founder Stanislav Vishnevskiy admitting the company "missed the mark" in its communication. The company will not require face scans or ID uploads from all users, instead relying on internal systems for most age determinations, with third-party verification reserved for a small percentage of users accessing age-restricted content.
