   Discord claims "most users" will never go through an age verification process because they're already monitoring your behavior.

   For the majority of adult users, we will be able to confirm your age group using information we already have. We use age prediction to determine, with high confidence, when a user is an adult. This allows many adults to access age-appropriate features without completing an explicit age check.

   Gotta say, constant behavior analysis is not the warm and fuzzy blanket they seem to think it is.

     @fluffykittycat @mttaggart surely they can combine it with geoip lookups :)
     
     alternatively just say something about your 16 year old child -- no way you can be under 18 and have a 16 year old kid :agesilaus:

     @mttaggart @feld doesn't work in red states, being a teen is no guarantee you're not married there

     @mttaggart so if kids want to be classified as adults they just need to say stuff like "my wife" in chat?
