If I am required to do this, I am purging my Discord account immediately. I am not giving them face scans.

Why? This cannot possibly have any legal weight. Some adults look young. Some kids look old. The very idea is broken from the outset.
I can’t tell if this is incompetence or malice.

But I don’t want to give discord my face. I need that

I prefer websites and services who just ask if I’m older than 18.

When 01/01/1900 no longer becomes an option I’ll need to resort to my standby of 01/01/1970.

Babies aren’t allowed to view adult sites!

Shit.

We’re getting fucking old, aren’t we? :)

I’ll never admit it. I’m still 13 inside.
I, too, like sites that have things like videos for adults.

Probably just a coincidence. Most likely maybe.

The only difference I see between this and the only other non-official way of verifying age on Discord is that Discord itself will have your face and not just the mod team of the room you’re joining.
I wasn’t gonna send a picture of my ID to some rando; I sure as fuck won’t give it to a corporate entity.

Just in case anyone reading this gets the impression that direct messages sent on Discord are private from Discord itself, they aren’t. If you were to send your face to a mod, or send anything to anyone there, then Discord would have it, too.

To be fair to Discord, it has to work that way. They serve the files to you anywhere in the world on any device you use, don’t they? That requires hosting the content.
But it could very well be used for other purposes, too, of course.

I’d be pretty surprised if this wasn’t a lie to get attention
