Discord has announced that it's rolling out age verification checks globally from March – and the decision has sparked fury from many privacy-conscious users.
You’ve missed some news my friend, it’s an EU problem too, just the legal and privacy lawyers are fighting much harder so it keeps getting pushed away from going into law.
It’s from everywhere tbh. But the EU is certainly the largest, most forceful block in getting age verification pushed through.
The only upside is that the EU proposal demands ZKP, whereas all others are happy to accept/prefer “prove who you are”. That’s obviously an insane privacy nightmare.
it’s from the uk and texas.
