Comment on Discord Users Threaten Exodus Over Age Verification Face Scan Controversy
eleijeep@piefed.social 1 day agoSo if a teen can only interact with other teens on dedicated spaces it should make it harder for perverts to ask for stuff.
There is no age verification to prove you’re a teen. The age verification is to prove that you’re an adult.

Please read the end of my message.
If you are a teen “by default” you will have all the restrictions of a teen until you prove you are an adult.
So an adult with ill intentions should either be :
Again it’s what the very vague statement of Discord says. We also have no clue how their “inference model for age classification” works either…

Please read the Discord official post.
That account will be tagged as a teen account until proven otherwise. Therefore any message or DM he will receive will go to a special inbox with most likely warnings to consult it.
Please, again, I understand that the pitchforks are out for discord, I’m just asking you to take the time to read the official discord post from top to bottom.
There will still be unknowns until they release the update but your question is already answered by their official post.

The point I am making is about protecting teens from adults. So teen-per-default means that adults can freely talk to teens, which should be prevented. Either allow no teens on your platform, or teens have to proof that they are teens first.
Adults (and teens for that matter) are pretty good at obfuscating grooming.
