Starting in early March, the platform will place every account into a default “teen-appropriate” experience unless it has proof that users are adults.

The move has brought widespread criticism from Discord users, who are citing privacy and security concerns following a recent breach of a third-party vendor that ended up exposing around 70,000 government ID images used to verify the age of Discord users.

    Hey I have a better idea

    How about they fuck off and talk to internet router hardware companies to make decent software UIs, with defaults that make sheep masses actually use them to ‘protect the children’ client side where it actually works

    Oh because its not actually about that and the powers that be don’t actually give a rats about protecting children and this whole protect the children conversation is a red herring to allow them to push their real goals which include but are not limited to mass censorship of people who disagree with and resist their opinions, actions, and agendas

      The real trick is we need the governments to back down and just make sure we have the power to allow/deny our kids access.
