Discord now requires age verification, and why you should reconsider the age-old forum

We're not even two months into 2026, and yet another large social media network has done the seemingly unthinkable and instituted a policy that triggers a mass exodus.

I am of course talking about Discord's roll-out of age verification globally, across the entire site.

Not only will they require age verification, Discord is also utilising AI technology to analyze your content and habits to infer your age.

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

Starting in March, all Discord users will have a “teen” experience by default unless they complete age verification using a video selfie or ID.

It works! does the permissions also allow Global Moderators to see the posts or not?
