    It shouldn’t be up to discord or any other internet entity to verify the age of its users.

    Parents. Parents should be monitoring their child’s Internet usage.

      The internet will become ID verified to protect the kids or terrorism or what ever other reason they feel like. It won’t solve the problems it is claimed to help. But if you have unauthorized opinions against government backed genocides then you are marked as a terrorist.

        Listen we can’t have people thinking they can have some sort of responsibility to function in the world. That might give them the bright idea that they can start judging for themselves the state of the world and to demand some kind of accountability. They might even clue in to the problems that the tech monopolies are purposely causing, along with the social ills that come with it.

        We can’t have that at all.

      They should, but they’re exhausted and they can’t even be bothered to read or help with homework so this will go badly. The only ones winning are the predators.

        Have you ever thought that maybe these two things are linked somehow?

        And who’s fault is that they’re so tired?

        Btw, has discord ever done anything to help a minor asking for help?

        And how about known predators actually getting jailed?
