    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.

        Because Discord wants your data, any excuse they give is just a rationalization to get it.

        The Heritage Foundation and New World Order want to make sure there is a real life identity tied to discord. Every other social platform like Meta already does this and I can see Reddit requiring this next.

        Probably because it’s easier than making EULA for every state and county

    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.

        The US has been terrorizing people for the entirety of its existence. Yet it still finds time for hobbies.
