Discord announces age verification will be required for all users from March

Discord will require all users to complete age verification starting March, with unverified accounts limited to "teen-appropriate" features. Verification uses facial age estimation or ID submission. Unverified users lose access to age-restricted channels, content filters, direct messages, and stage speaking. The move follows similar rollouts in the UK and Australia and prior security breaches affecting user data.
