Discord is facing major backlash for expanding its age verification to the US despite data breach.

I'd like to give this a couple days to see if we get a response by Discord to it. Masem (t) 02:44, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

Discord has responded and it's only made users angrier. ~2026-85995-5 (talk) 03:34, 12 February 2026 (UTC)

 Not done, incomprehensible request. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 16:57, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

Info about the new photo verification had been moved from the history section (more noticeable) to a sub section under Criticisms and controversies (less noticeable). I argue this is biased and taking the side of discord, because:

A. Less noticeable.

B. Sweeping the whole thing under the guise of 'child protection'.

The controversy here is never about child protection, as seen in source , people are threatening to leave due to privacy concerns.

I propose leaving a short line in the history. And either moving some part of the age verification controversy to under privacy, or splitting the whole thing to a new section. I'd like to hear what everyone thinks before moving forward to editing. Anothercat613 (talk) 09:24, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

The history section is mostly around the business elements of Discord and not features or changes to the software. Until we know if a larger impact to the number of Discord users, the age verification makes far more sense in the criticism section, and becayse they are defaulting accounts to teen, it is a child safety issue though obviously crosses over with privacy. They are theories that discord dud this as part of prepping for IPO which then maybe make sense to include there, but nothing absolutely stated that yet. Now if this does cause a massive loss of users once it happens, to affecting the business in a major way, then we can look to move it back to history. But right now, it has T happened yet so it's just criticism. Masem (t) 16:09, 11 February 2026 (UTC)

Now that a few days had passed and more info had came out, I believe it have enough impact to be worth greater mention (like the article's current state) because:

1. Many news had reported on strong backlash from users and report of slur of nitro cancellation

2. Discord’s global head of product policy acknowledged Discord expects "some sort of hit" to user numbers

But if anyone believes otherwise, happy to discuss Anothercat613 (talk) 14:15, 14 February 2026 (UTC)

I did expand out a section on Age Verification, as this already had been done for UK and Australia users. I still dont think we have any idea of numbers of users leaving the service yet, and that likely won't be known until they actually launch this, but they did respond to try to assure users that they expect the auto verification by profile will get most users.

Discord is available on PlayStation and Xbox with limited functionality, mainly voice chat. I think it’s justified to list them on the page, as long as their limited functionality is clearly noted in the sidebar and the (Top) section to avoid being misleading. It might even be worth going further by specifying in the history section when and which features were implemented on Xbox and PlayStation.
