With the UK currently battling Apple, Discord has no chance of not getting a lawsuit.

Ofcom is a serious contender in ruling their rules especially where Discord is multi-national that even "normies" know and use.

And if they got a slap of "we will let you off this time" they would still have to create some sort of verification service to please the next time.

You might as well piss off your consumers, loose them whatever and still hold the centre stage than fight the case for not. Nothing is stopping Ofcom from launching another lawsuit there after.

There's a market for everything. Fake driver licenses with fake pictures have been around for decades, that would be no different.
