Discord to demand ID soon
Posted: 09 Feb 2026, 19:22
Attention, community members!
Discord have announced they will be locking down all user accounts as Minors and demand you provide them either your government issued ID or a face scan to unlock them starting next month.
For a company with such a stellar record of keeping your personal data safe, it's only natural, of course, that they now demand even more of that -- this time to make absolutely sure this will in no way get compromised. Ultimately this is going to be up to you, but I personally would strongly advise against giving up any of your personal data to anyone on the Internet.
In the light of this it's possible that this message board will soon become our community's best way of continuing to communicate. We are currently also exploring other options and alternatives to Discord as a live chatroom and will try and keep you updated.
Thank you.
