IRC plus GNU Jami are still freedom respecting zones! I sincerely hope all this age verification crap causes cypherpunk FOSS solutions to grow in popularity.

There was a brief window where you could submit fake biometrics through a third-party site to verify age on Discord, pretty sure I got the link from hackernews.<p>That made me feel better that Discord didn&#x27;t need to store my ID or video of my face, and was only storing the results of some analysis and not the inputs.

Still required to use a video or ID card in the UK.

I actually like their implementation. I&#x27;m curious if it will be enough for governments, but it is nice that they are trying to persue a path without id checks

I like that the dialog indicates the service provider. Thumbs up for transparency.
