Discord is rolling out a new age verification system aimed at keeping users safer, especially those under 18. The platform will now have a 'teen-by-default' policy that requires users to verify their age before accessing certain content. Methods for verification will include facial estimation and ID submissions, with a background model to help streamline the process. Starting in March, users will need to confirm their age to enter sensitive areas. A 'Teen Council' will also be formed to gather feedback from younger users about their needs. Does this approach seem effective to you?
