I really hope they do. When a support forum says “join us on discord” I immediately nope the fuck out. I have never used discord and I don’t plan on it.
Comment on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

I HATE discord. It’s way too complicated. The rules within chats are ridiculous.

And it’s obscure, why use a chat like a forum? Why keep knowledge there? It’s not even encrypted so it’s insecure and blinded from the regular internet.

They are choosing this over banning porn on their platform.

More like they are being forced to by Governments who are pushing kid safety as a way to achieve their final goal which is a drivers license to use the Internet.

What governments? The US government isn’t making them do it.

The Feds aren’t making them do it, but plenty of states are working on it.

Dunno why this is worldwide, then. Why should I have to comply with what some states in the US want when I’m not even in the same country, and my country has none of these age verification laws? Whole world shouldn’t have to give up their privacy just because Tennessee said so.

Yeah, asshole states.

European Union, entirely.

UK, AUS to name a few, but many others are doing this, and its only a matter of time before the US gets in on the action.

The US is busy violating people’s rights and executing civil dissidents. They’ll get to it when they grow bored of terrorizing everyone.
