Discord announces age-verification measures to roll out in March
Social media platform Discord announced on Feb. 9 that it will begin implementing global age verification starting in March.
The company said in a news release that the phased rollout will require users to verify their age to access age-restricted channels, servers and other parts of the platform. Users who don't verify their age will be defaulted into a "teen-appropriate experience."
"Rolling out teen-by-default settings globally builds on Discord’s existing safety architecture, giving teens strong protections while allowing verified adults flexibility," Savannah Badalich, Discord's head of product policy, said in the news release.
