Discord claims "most users" will never go through an age verification process because they're already monitoring your behavior.

For the majority of adult users, we will be able to confirm your age group using information we already have. We use age prediction to determine, with high confidence, when a user is an adult. This allows many adults to access age-appropriate features without completing an explicit age check.
Gotta say, constant behavior analysis is not the warm and fuzzy blanket they seem to think it is.

@mttaggart "We analyzed all your private messages, public messages, server selections, active hours, and the level of excitement you feel at getting socks as a gift, just so we can validate that you are an adult!"
Yay, Discord, yay.

@mttaggart On a more serious note, I could imagine them skipping age verification for accounts of a certain age. For example, unless someone created an account when they were 8, then a 10-year-old account would probably belong to an adult.
But other than that, they will surely feed everything to a big AI and have their fun with it.

@mttaggart how else would they make money? Not that I want to defend data selling at all, I hate it with a passion, but at some point we need to be asking ourselves what exactly it is we are expecting from for-profit companies.

@odr_k4tana Nitro...exists? So does their ad program, Quests. They are bending the knee to age verification globally in anticipation of potential legislation, and doing so with the sketchiest of tech, after already losing 70k users' PII in a breach.
This isn't about revenue.

@mttaggart really? From a cost perspective, it makes sense. You have the system already, and legislation might change. Rather than maintaining two states, you kill one and make the one you have to implement anyways default. They were bought by an investor, they need to produce value. Cutting costs is the go-to for that.

Just look up your ID with @haveibeenpwned to see if you exist or not
