From Discord's age verification page, under "Privacy and Data Security":

Q: Is my data stored when I use Face Scan or Scan ID verification?

A: Discord and k-ID do not permanently store personal identity documents or your video selfies. The image of your identity document and the ID face match selfie are deleted directly after your age group is confirmed, and the video selfie used for facial age estimation never leaves your device.

So is that a lie?

I wonder if they could face legal consequences for this

Companies suffer no consequences and nobody goes to jail for destroying real people's lifes. It's how businesses work. Do it and apologize later motto or something like that. At best some small fine.

is this not from the stolen support tickets? some of which were related to id verification? 70k users is a very low number for discord.
