Discord’s New Age Verification uses AI and Your Face! - Divisions by zero

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/33458015 [https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/33458015] > If I am required to do this, I am purging my Discord account immediately. I am not giving them face scans.

I do not have a camera…so get fucked I guess. Ok discord…bye, you are easily replaced as a voice chat for videogames with friends.

You only need to verify your age if there is evidence on discord that you are too young to use the platform

“Evidence” being so vague and malleable a term that it’s insanely easy to abuse.

What they consider evidence is if you say you are 12. Explicitely. It’s not in their interest to ditch you out of the platform for no good reason

Methinks you have too much faith in those wielding the power to demand this. Examples abound of assholes - anyone from forum mods to police officers - abusing their power against those they look down upon.

I agree you could paint it as evil. To throw @[email protected] a bone -

One without faith in Discord might take a view like:

Oh, Discord cares about minors? That’s why they developed something that has like a 1% chance of doing its job and only kicking little kids off if they slip up and literally say their age? If they cared about kids and not growth metrics, their approach would actually have teeth. This is just feel-good, talking-point crap.
