The social platform is testing age checks using facial scanning for access to sensitive content.

    A seatbelt does not stop you from breaking a law. Age verification does. The assumption is that you are lying and trying to break the law and you need to prove why you aren’t. This has nothing to do with discord. Be mad at shit garbage UK and Australian regulators.

      “Protect the kids!” - always the first thing they use.

        I believe the phrase is:

        “WONT SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN!?”

          “I thought they closed that place down.”
