Discord slammed over age verification face scan controversy
www.newsweek.com
Discord users are unhappy with the platform's decision to roll out age verification requirements for adult user accounts starting in March.

Starting in early March, the platform will place every account into a default “teen-appropriate” experience unless it has proof that users are adults.

The move has brought widespread criticism from Discord users, who are citing privacy and security concerns following a recent breach of a third-party vendor that ended up exposing around 70,000 government ID images used to verify the age of Discord users.

    Sounds like it’s experimental at the moment:

    Voice/Video when?

    Currently there is experimental voice/video WebRTC support in Spacebar. UDP connections are not currently supported.

    This is a very difficult feature to get working, especially given that we must implement it the exact same way as Discord.com for client compatibility, so if you find any bugs please open an issue in Spacebar server.

    We would also be incredibly thankful for any assistance.

    So might not be ready for primetime. Voice is pretty critical to how I often use Discord. Video less so, but still important.
