  It is not disabled yet, but they will be resticting age gated channels by the end of the month yo amyone who hasn’t provided them with a copy of their ID

  Worth noting that Discord had a pretty bad data leak a few months back, where it turned out the ID verification company they hired was not deleting the IDs after they were checked

  You are treated as a child, literally, so no nsfw stuff. I think no advertisements as well.

    No advertisements seems like a bonus to me

      “Give us personal data or we won’t be able to monetise every waking moment of your life” seems like a real silver lining. I wonder if they then can’t legally do certain marketing things because the user isn’t age verified?
