Upcoming Discord proof of age thoughts

[ShawnFuzz]

This may affect the forum, so I am wondering how people feel about the upcoming Discord requirements of proving your age through official identification scans, or scanning your face for proof of age?

I am all for making sure people are who they say they are, but it seems a bit extreme to put your personal identity out there, especially after Discord has been hacked before.

Discord is used by many members here, including community events.

What do we do?

I hate it for many reasons, and it feels like a repeat of Roblox asking for your face for age verification (and no, I haven't done it either, I'd rather stay without chat). The privacy concerns in both cases can't be ignored. Your face will probably sold to some database without your consent eventually in my opinion.

I didn't know that was a thing. Just way for them to get more information on us. No thanks. If that's what's going to happen I'll gladly leave Discord.
