Discord will age-restrict users from certain features starting next month unless the user sends a face scan or ID. All accounts will get a restricted "teen" experience by default: - No access to age-restricted or NSFW servers and channels - Cannot speak in Stage channels - Automatic filters applied to sensitive or graphic content - Warnings shown on friend requests from unfamiliar users - Direct messages from non-friends filtered into a separate requests inbox To unlock full adult access, users must verify they are 18+ with one of these options: - Facial age estimation (a short video selfie processed on your device, not stored by Discord) - Uploading a photo of a government-issued ID (data deleted after verification)
