Hey seriously, literally in the bills it says they'll also use identifying information, such as your age data for "other purposes". That means your data goes into a government surveillance database. This would be for ANY *OS*, which is the thing your fucking PC runs off of.
Call your reps NOW.
They are so, SO desperate for people to resub. PLEASE don't resub your Nitro everyone. Props if you aren't already subbed, props if you were subbed and you unsub right now. NOTHING changes unless a company FEARS for their bottom line. Feel free to use Discord still, but don't give them a penny. 💖

I got banned from twitter in 2023 for this drawing. They called it "violent speech". It had over 40K likes and too many comments for me to read before my ban, but I still see it floating around here and there. Save a copy, and use it freely. No attribution needed. Love u

Reminder that she allegedly is allegedly in the allegeded Epstein files. Allegedly
Just a reminder that they still intend to do this, dont let the backlash die down, keep cancelling your subscription.
...
...hugs needed..?
Continue canceling your Nitro, don't re-subscribe, send your complaints to Discord Help, and tell your reps to oppose age verification and online ID check bills (they are free speech violations and makes things easier to get your ID stolen). #SaveSpeech
Lets see if the algorithm actually sends this to to someone who needs it.
Any existing Metaverse players bummed by the shut down & are looking at alternatives, hit me up. I genuinely love to help new folks into VRChat & if you are considering it my DMs are open! Everyone deserves community & home.
...they were still doing that-?
if only..

(wow. Tumblr is doing a bad idea today. that's great. yeah, just great.)

Despite how excellent the news may seem, do not get comfortable just yet
One key word to take this away from; "Halted," which means, the Age Verification junk is very much alive and there's a possibility they'll be trying this again
Keep the pressure going, do not let them get away with this
o.o goodness..
Maybe we could find out.

...welp-
Discord Nitro cancelled.
I don't want to prove my age to you. I don't want you to track me with AI to guess my age. I want a place where people make their own decisions about the content they exchange. If that's not what you're offering I'll go elsewhere.
The Internet is for people, not corpos.
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!
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)
