Discord introduces global age verification | Proton

This blog post explains Discord's introduction of global age verification starting March 2026, where all users will have a teen-appropriate experience by default unless they verify they are at least 18 years old. Discord will use an inference model analyzing user behavior and optional age estimation via a video selfie or government-issued photo ID to determine age. The post discusses the implications for users and the broader trend of platforms implementing stricter age verification measures.
