Discord says it won't roll out age verification globally next month as previously announced, delaying the change until H2 after it adds verification options

Discord is delaying its global rollout of age verification for accounts accessing restricted content, promising more options and transparency. The delay comes after user backlash and concerns over privacy and data security. Discord plans to add more verification options, including credit card verification, and will provide documentation of every verification vendor used. It will also publish a technical blog post explaining its age estimation systems. The delay will allow Discord to address these concerns and ensure a smoother rollout.
