The correct response is still "Fuck you Discord, too little too late".

They're only pulling back from March to later this year, and adding credit card options instead of face scans isn't addressing the issue of "fuck you, you don't need to know who I am".

YES! This is AMAZING! πŸŽ‰ Keep pushing against abusive practices, and keep fighting for your privacy rights! IT WORKS! βœŠπŸ”’ https://9to5mac.com/2026/02/24/discord-just-canceled-its-planned-age-verification-rollout-for-now/ Edit: Just to be clear, I still encourage everyone to move to better platforms and delete your Discord accounts (even if there was no age verification at all). Discord isn't a privacy-respectful platform. But this small victory means we should keep pushing for better privacy practices, everywhere. This means they are listening. This means you have the power to make things better, for yourself and for others. Celebrate that. And keep pushing back. #Privacy #AgeVerification #Discord #PrivacyWin
