Discord announced a global 'teen-by-default' system, treating all users as minors unless they complete age assurance. Unverified users cannot unblur sensitive content, access age-restricted channels, or change message request settings. Age verification uses on- device facial age estimation or government ID submission. The rollout, beginning in early March 2026, expanded protections first deployed in the UK and Australia in 2025.
