Comment on Discord Users Threaten Exodus Over Age Verification Face Scan Controversy

Tetsuo@jlai.lu ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

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 :

A teen by default and therefore have many limitations.
An adult that have limitations in reaching to teens.

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…

So an adult could just create two accounts, one to access teen spaces, where they don’t verify their age l and one for accessing adult spaces, where the age gets verified?

  Please read the Discord official post.
  
  one to access teen spaces,
  
  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.

    That’s not my understanding.
    
    I get your point but by default if Discord thinks you are a teen it also implies all the limitations associated with that status. Which means some media will be blurred and some commands cannot be done.
    
    An adult can keep his “teen default status” but he also keeps all the limitations associated with it. Which I suppose doesn’t mean they can “freely” talk to other accounts as you state.
    
    Notably the DM that a groomer would send will end up in a special inbox for all teens or for that matter “default teen”.
