Discord age verification rolls out today with changes spurred by user backlash

Discord is introducing age verification measures to comply with laws requiring platforms to ensure users are at least 13 years old. The company will use AI to estimate users' ages based on their name, username, and other account information. If the AI is unsure, it will require users to verify their age through a government-issued ID. This change comes after the company faced backlash for allowing minors to create accounts without proper verification.
