Key changes are - ID verification to see porn on Discord. - Also, some warnings to not befriend stangers. Not very heavy handed, you can google porn anytime. I am not sure who this serves. | ||

It serves UK, EU, and various US States' regulations to "protect the kids". Discord is only the next biggest canary in the coal mine. These regulations are going to force a lot more websites and apps to do this, too. I wish these sorts of regulations had been written hand-in-hand with a more directly technically-minded approach. The world needs a better technical way to try to verify a person's estimated age cohort without a full ID check and/or AI-analyzed video face scan before we start regulating "every" website that may post "adult content" (however you choose to define that) starts to require such checks. | ||
