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

        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. Yeah, it often comes back on them eventually, but not always, and in the meantime the lives of those they target can be made a living hell if they so choose.

            I agree you could paint it as evil. To throw @Mubelotix@jlai.lu 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.
