An update on how we confirm your age group on Discord

Discord is implementing an automatic age verification system that uses account signals like account age and server participation to estimate whether users are teens (13-17) or adults (18+), with over 90% of users not requiring manual confirmation. The company developed this privacy-preserving approach in response to expanding age assurance laws in regions like Texas and Brazil, while avoiding the need for ID or biometric data for most users. Teens will have access to the same Discord features but with additional safety protections blocking age-restricted content, while adults experience no changes.
