The governments making laws which mandate it feel otherwise.

No law mandates Discord impose this globally.

To be clear - this is a wholly discretionary act on their part to implement this in jurisdictions that have no such legal requirement.

They are doing this pre-emptively since it will be the global law trend sooner or later.

That's not for Discord or you to decide nor is that guaranteed!

Yeah, the decision to do it pre-emptively obviously is discord’s to make. How could it be otherwise?

I meant mandatory age verification becoming "global law" is not for Discord to decide.

Guess we'll have to change the laws.. or the government.
