  And if you agree to their new terms of service (there’s only an accept button when you open the site), you agree it’s not discord’s fault!

  Such innovation.

    This has been going around lately, but the arbitration clause has been in the ToS for at least a year, but probably since the beginning. Not saying it is a good thing, but it is already far too late. The new update just added “resources” for arbitration. You know, arbitrators that are paid by Discord

    Doesn’t the UK require that shit now?

    And I know a bunch of US states require it when you stumble on a tit.

    Either way, VPNs making bank right now.

    It’s not about the individual behavior though and shaming someone for this doesn’t change anything. If you have a wildly popular social media network, thousands/millions of people will provide their ID if requested. This is all on Discord for not keeping the IDs safe and for asking for them in the first place.

  I don’t remember discord requiring ID, at least in the US. Not that is any better, just didn’t realize ID was required anywhere.

    Currently 25 states require it. Incidentally 23 of to lowest 25 states allow child marriage. Funny isn’t it?

    From theverge.com/…/discord-government-ids-leaked-data… :

    Of the accounts impacted globally, we have identified approximately 70,000 users that may have had government-ID photos exposed, which our vendor used to review age-related appeals.

    So they only demand your ID if they’ve somehow decided that you’re underage and you want to appeal that.
