they don't do this for age verification, they do this to build dataset to sell.

> Key privacy protections of Discord’s age-assurance approach include:

> On-device processing: Video selfies for facial age estimation never leave a user’s device.

> Quick deletion: Identity documents submitted to our vendor partners are deleted quickly— in most cases, immediately after age confirmation.

> Straightforward verification: In most cases, users complete the process once and their Discord experience adapts to their verified age group. Users may be asked to use multiple methods only when more information is needed to assign an age group.

> Private status: A user’s age verification status cannot be seen by other users.

    • Discord is an app that's so routinely reverse-engineered there are projects with a million+ users designed around patching changes to it, straight in the binary.

      Do you think their big evil plan is to make up a lie that will last maybe 3 weeks, jeopardize the user trust and lose nitro revenue

      Surely there is so much money to be made selling random people's faces.

      If they tell you they're not selling your data they're not selling your data. What you should worry about is incompetence

      Not even 6 months ago a third party they used for ID verification got breached
