Discord to start requiring face scan or ID to access adult content

Posted on February 10, 2026 by Dissent

Liv McMahon reports:

Discord will soon require users globally to verify their age with a face scan or by uploading a form of ID if they want to access adult content.

[…]

Users can either upload a photo of their ID to confirm their age or take a video selfie, where AI will be used to estimate their facial age.

Discord said information used for age checks will not be stored by the platform or the verification company.

It said face scans would not be collected, and ID uploads would be deleted after the verification is complete.

So what will happen with all the kids and teens using Discord to discuss hacking and other plans?
