Discord to Implement New Age-Verification System in March

Discord is set to introduce a new age-verification system in March, aimed at enhancing the safety of teenage users by providing a 'teen-by-default' experience. According to NS3.AI, the majority of users will be able to verify their age through internal prediction models, eliminating the need for uploading government IDs or facial scans. However, this policy has faced criticism over privacy concerns and user trust, highlighting the broader challenges associated with online age-verification efforts globally.
