Discord: Most Users Won't Encounter New Age Verification System
Discord has stated that its new age verification system will only impact a small fraction of its user base, reassuring the community that the 'vast majority' of users will not encounter the new checks. The measures are being introduced as part of the platform's efforts to enhance safety, particularly for younger users, and to comply with increasing regulatory pressure around online age verification.
The announcement comes as social media and communication platforms face growing scrutiny from lawmakers and regulators worldwide over child safety concerns. Discord's approach appears designed to balance compliance with minimal disruption to its core user experience, though details about how the verification process works and which users will be affected remain points of interest for the platform's large community.
