A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I don't remember discord requiring ID, at least in the US. Not that is any better, just didn't realize ID was required anywhere.

Currently 25 states require it. Incidentally 23 of to lowest 25 states allow child marriage. Funny isn't it?

From https://www.theverge.com/news/797051/discord-government-ids-leaked-data-breach :

Of the accounts impacted globally, we have identified approximately 70,000 users that may have had government-ID photos exposed, which our vendor used to review age-related appeals.

So they only demand your ID if they've somehow decided that you're underage and you want to appeal that.
