How many people are doing age restricted stuff on Discord (besides the specifically there for adult content and gooning crowd)

All of my use is primarily professional and gaming and has no age concerns

Does it matter? The problem is that everyone uses discord for everything. It's not an isolated platform, it's THE platform if you want to have friends.

If you don't access adult stuff, you don't need to verify age. I'm not giving them my ID, I'm not expecting anything to change about my Discord experience.

What's the issue?

Gaming certainly has age-concerns, many games are rated 13/15/16+ or 18+

But yeah, leaving discord... they are not getting my ID/Photo

At least Google is pushing on zero-knowledge solutions

Maybe they can force everyone's hand like they did for https

Ratings aren't legally binding though are they? I bought games older rated than I was, and it's totally up to people's parents what they're allowed to play. Are you suggesting a 15 year old should be allowed to play the 16 rated game but not discuss it?

Can their parents also approve their discord usage?

Are you saying they need parents to buy the game, but shouldn't to join chats about the same game?

I'm wondering if this will work with a YouTube video...
