Discord’s new age verification requirement sucks

I like Discord as a concept. I don’t always like Discord’s policies—most currently, its upcoming worldwide age verification requirement. The approach sucks.

I understand the problem. Unfiltered, the internet is not a safe place for kids. Discord is rightfully attempting to address predators, hazardous content, and other dangers for minors by changing the default user experience to one that’s “teen appropriate.”

But Discord will put adults at risk when this policy rolls out in early March.
