Discord is attempting to quell user panic surrounding its new age verification policy. Many users feared they would be required to submit facial scans or government IDs, leading to backlash and threats of account cancellations. However, Discord has clarified that these stringent measures will not apply to the majority of its user base.
The platform will primarily utilise an internal 'age prediction' model. This sophisticated system will analyse various data points, including account information, device and activity data, and general user behaviour across different communities to estimate a user's age. This approach aims to streamline the verification process and avoid unnecessary inconvenience for most users. Only those whose age cannot be confidently determined by this model will be prompted to provide a video selfie or official identification.
For users who are not verified as adults or are identified as minors, Discord will implement an 'age-appropriate' experience. This will involve restricting access to servers and channels that are designated for adult audiences. This move comes in the wake of significant user concern, amplified by a data breach experienced by a third-party vendor previously used by Discord for age verification. This incident, which exposed user data and a small number of IDs, understandably heightened privacy anxieties among the community.
