Damn, not even a week

Don't gotta rush things. You got this.

I wonder if I should make a Kofi for donations. It would help support me while I'm both in between jobs and making memes for Limbus Company.

me @ that guy

Understandably nobody wants to be thinking this stuff when they're clearly gaming and doing their thing. Big don't recommend this type of behavior. If you're sus of everyone you're vaguely interested in just don't watch anyone lmao. Keep those thoughts for those that do talk about those topics.

Same company verifies mugshots for ChatGPT, and offers 269 surveillance checks for US government The identity verification company used by ChatGPT and other major services accidentally exposed its government-authorized platform, which is capable of extensive surveillance.

So, the company that Discord, Roblox, and OpenAi use to verify people also provides data to the USA government.

They also claim that this is a coincidence:

"The researchers noticed that the subdomain “onyx.withpersona-gov.com” bears the same name as ICE's $4.2 million AI surveillance tool ONYX"

‘Uncle Grandpa’ creator Pete Browngardt retweets an old sketch of Uncle Grandpa with a gun in his mouth as a response to the Paramount/Warner Bros. merger news.

It's literally the "we are still doing it but now we would like you to be less mad about it." post. After 3 backdowns that didn't even back down they pull out another BIG puppy eyed SUPER sorry backdown that ALSO doesn't back down.

No. You've fuckied your last wucky, UwU.

Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults. Hey folks – I’ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so today’s announcement on our blog is something I’ve been pretty involved with. I’ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured I’d add some more context to today's news. I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults.

And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.) Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence. Anyway, we’ll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what we’re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details. And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. We’re definitely reading it!

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

Five-year-old me: Oooh, that Batman cartoon! What adventures will he go on today?

*the villain is left in tears, unable to process their fears and obsessions. And Batman, a looming presence born of the inability to rationalize terror, is the only one there to comfort them*

Me: Oh. Huh.
