That policy is not for minors, since it permits teenagers.
It’s 100% the parents’ responsibility to ensure their kids use the internet safely.

The issue (in my eyes) is that this isn’t limited to discord. Anywhere online where kids are allowed to be, predators can also be. Fuck, even Roblox apparently has a big predator problem. So if we make it the responsibility of platforms to police, we’re setting ourselves up for a world where you have to have your ID ready to scan in to any website you visit or service you use that lets you interact with other people in any way, no matter how mundane, and there will be no internet services where anyone under 18 is allowed.
Or, we just accept that there’s no reasonable way to keep adults and kids from intermingling, and we make it parents’ sole responsibility.

If there were an entirely separate kids internet, which only kids can use (and it requires some sort of proof-of-being-a-kid to use the kids’ internet, but not the adults’ internet), what would you think of that idea? (Actual implementation would not be exactly like that of course, more like individual websites would offer kids’ versions separately.)

In a hypothetical world where every service that wanted to be kid-friendly was willing to make two versions of their site, and where the obvious security concerns were solved, and where it could somehow be quarantined away from normal users, how would a kid even prove they were a kid?
