I'm hoping people have an idea of some method to bypass it that actually works. Maybe a particular video or game that still works well. Giving them useless data. Fwiw, they don't do the age verification themselves. They contract it out to a third party. And as much as I trust neither entity very far, I do trust that the third party probably isn't handing over that data to Discord. I'm more worried about the third-party being hacked/leaking data, which has already happened. permalink fedilink source parent
