on a messaging service primarily branded for teens
replyIf that was the case, they wouldn't need the age-verification for "adult" features, because there would be no "adult" features. Right?
This will be expanded to cover everything on the service soon enough. The time to cancel Nitro and move to other platforms that respect user privacy is now.
replyI don't see why it would. If Discord sees its primary audience as teens (i.e. the people who by design can't verify) why would it extend the verify-only parts of the service?
replyYeah yeah it's to protect the kids and everyone's a pedophile, do you have anything new to add?
replyOnly that I don't understand why everyone here is talking as if they had just been forced at gun point to age verify. Just... don't verify until you need it?
replyAlso pedophiles do exist (see Epstein and friends) and bad neighborhoods on the internet do exist. This is currently a problem on the internet that needs to be solved. No one here is giving any suggestions how to solve it, but we sure are quick to shot down any solutions that people are trying.
