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! 🎉 Keep pushing against abusive practices, and keep fighting for your privacy rights! IT WORKS! ✊🔒 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

@Em0nM4stodon @alice Discords response to the pushback is basically

"We hear you! We know you aren’t happy with our torment nexus implementation, but don’t worry, we’ve already got so much personal data on most of you that we don’t need to put you through the nexus. And for the remaining 10%, we’ll still put you in the torment nexus, but not until later in the year, and as a bonus, you’ll be able to pick which colour you want your nexus to be!
